: : My family owns on our family farm, a Texaco service station that my father and uncle operated from 1941-1966. The building is all intact as are are it's contents. From fully stocked gasket cabinets to uncracked motor oil it is totally like stepping back in time. We have recently been discussing opening it to the public and completing the shop with a few elements that have been removed over the years but still exist. All of the vintage tools are also still in place including a lathe and antique air compressor. I would like to know if there are any organizations from which I can gain more info on this evdeavour. I look forward to gathering any input

: What kind of information are you looking for???

: Let me know.

I am looking for any organizations or clubs that know of similar stations in rural places and if anyone goes to see them. It is 15 minutes from any major route but is not really surrounded by tourist spots being in a farm community. Are there clubs that tour around to see such places. Is there somewhere that it could be registered as a historic service station. Just general stuff
