Listen to mule stories at museum

To the editor:

Our state animal, the mule, made the front page of the paper and Speak Out.

To the Speak Out caller, I think Ronnie Milsap is a fine artist. However, he can't hold a candle to a mule.

Most people know it takes a mare horse and a donkey to produce a mule, and they do not reproduce their own kind.

One of the enjoyable phases of my days at the Cape River Heritage Museum as director and tour guide is telling the mule story.

We have panels at the museum depicting the history of this fascinating, intelligent, unusual animal we adopted in 1995. I thoroughly enjoy repeating mule stories that have been related to me.

Want to know more? Come and see and hear from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
