The Dublin Dr Pepper Museum focuses on its own unique history.  Most of the huge collection of memorabilia in the Dublin Museum was collected by Bill Kloster who loved and collected all things Dr Pepper.  Our collection contains many rare pieces and is one of the largest in the world.  A tour of the plant not only takes you through our working antique operating bottling line, but also through the museum, which was the original offices of the plant.  The tour ends in Old Doc’s Soda Shop, where you can step up to our soda fountain and enjoy a Frosty Dr Pepper or purchase some of our great Dr Pepper memorabilia. Dublin Dr Pepper is a privately owned company and still a working company.

I'm convinced.  If you promise to bring her to lunch, I'll plan on joining you guys in Stephenville if time permits. We'll be heading there from out near Abilene after picking up something interesting there.  Any idea what time you'll be sitting down to eat?

I'd guess we'll get there around 1:00 for eats.  Depends on the tour guide in Dublin.  You can call our cell phones and we'll tell you where we are.  I'll send you my info via email.

Just caught the weather on the TeeeeeVeeeeeeee. I sure hope everyone is riding someplace today. Looks like the last day of highs in the 80's before summer hits North Texas!

See you guys at lunch in Stephenville! ~Jeff

Good eating with you guys and riding back.  Sorry to miss Dublin, but had to pick up the new ride, which as you heard, is LOUD. Ouch.  Cheesy
