o continued from page 81 Angoragoats thrive
in southwest Texas' desert climate. A rain-
bow of brightly dyed, silky yarn shares
table space with white toy sheep and
shearing tools. A handsome, green mo-
hair jacket hangs on a dressmaker's form
next to a spinningwheel. Each December,
the museum hosts a wool and mohair
fashion show featuring the designs of
Camp Wood artisan Dolores Vernor.
Cattle, sheep, Angora
goats, and the oil and gas
industry have all played
a part in Ozona's history.
Before leaving Ozona, we stopped at Vil-
lage Drug to experience history ofa differ-
ent sort. A retro nook of the drugstore, its
walls adorned with pictures of tasty treats,
features a 1950s soda fountain. Business
was light following the lunchtime rush,
and Richard Bird, the pharmacist-owner,
chatted with us from behind the counter
while we enjoyed a banana split.
On our way out of town, we passed his-
toric Emerald House, a residence thatwas
moved here from the townsite of Emer-
ald, which once lay nine miles east. After
Ozona became the county seat in 1891,
Emerald gradually disappeared. While
Emerald failed, its neighbor Ozona-solid,
resilient, and thoroughly charming-has
stood the test of time.
