Patricia Golden takes KRTS on a walking tour of Van Horn's Clark Museum Hotel,an adobe saloon and post office built in 1901. Later enlarged, it served as the county courthouse when Culberson County was organized in 1911. In 1920, local resident Fred Clark converted the building to a hotel, which also became the town hub, hosting theatrical programs and school graduations. How is the building today? K. Yoland finds out.
