The Lela Latch Lloyd Museum is dedicated to collecting items of regional interest and chronological value for the Cisco area of West Texas. There are evidences from prehistoric times, Indians, Spanish and Mexican conquests, early settlers, ranchers and farmers, the Civil War, and the town builders in the collection. The Lela Latch Lloyd Museum was the dream of local historian Dr. Duane K. Hale, a

friend of retired Cisco school teacher Lela Lloyd (1906-1998). Lloyd came to Cisco with her family about 1914. She attended Cisco schools and later became a teacher at Cisco high School and Cisco Junior College. She retired from teaching after 37 years. Lela wrote her 1st book, "Best Damn Teacher" as a memoir of her years of teaching in public school. Dr Hale wanted to commemorate the life of the local author and historian and so named the museum after her. He was the initial incorporator and has invested countless hours in the restoration of the dilapidated building that had served as the Cisco City Hall and as an entertainment center. Dr. Hale was able to get 501-C3 non-profit status for the museum and it survives on tax exempt donations.

Today (4.8.2025) was Ranch Day 2025.

"In the silence, I could hear the distinct sound of goats maa-ing in the barn. Lying there listening to them made me smile, too. I'd always loved goats - every one of them different from every other one, and all of them goofy and playful." - Steve Watkins

2025 - Moving soon.

A New Chapter for Bryans Motorcycle Museum
After nearly a decade at 925 E. Main Street in Eastland, Texas, Bryans Motorcycle Museum is preparing for an exciting new chapter. The final day to visit the original location will be Friday, April 11, 2025, with regular weekday hours of 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. continuing through the final week.

Following months of thoughtful planning, conversations, and assessments, the museum will officially be relocating to the Eastland County Museum on the square in downtown Eastland. Special thanks go to Terry Simmons and the entire Eastland County Museum board, who have been both accommodating and enthusiastic about preserving the Jackson family’s rich motorcycle heritage.

Opened to the public in 2018 after 15 years of development, Bryans Motorcycle Museum has welcomed visitors from 28 states and 7 countries, and was featured on Stryke TV. The museum showcases championship-winning motorcycles, decades of racing memorabilia, and personal stories spanning four generations of Jackson riders—starting in the 1920s.

Guests will also find unique displays referencing Bryan Jackson’s world records, including memorabilia from the stunts and a tribute mannequin honoring the only man to ever wheelie across the Hoover Dam.

As April 11 approaches, visitors are encouraged to stop by for one last look at the original location. Come walk through the aisles of Eastland County’s two-wheeled legacy and experience one man’s mission to share his family’s passion, purpose, and legacy on two wheels.

To stay up to date on the transition and upcoming announcements, follow Bryans Motorcycle Museum or the Eastland County Museum on Facebook, and consider supporting their efforts. The Eastland County Museum is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, fully dependent on donations and grants. Your support helps preserve this unique part of Eastland’s story for future generations to enjoy.
