Comments: Our family spent time in the place earlier this year. Watch out for sudden storms around evening. Home prices have risen since our last visit. Carthage has ALOT of rude folks in the shops. Sometimes traffic seems busy. For some fine exhibits, check out Tex Ritter Museum. It's worth the admission!
