Keep calm: Hit the Museum gift shop

Admit it. You may be one of those travelers who make sure there’s a gift shop waiting at the end of your adventure.

Museum of the Gulf Coast in downtown Port Arthur is showing off tempting new stock so you’ll remember your good times and get a head start on holiday shopping.

• Take a little piece of your heart for Janis Joplin home by way of a T-shirt to show you’re a rock star.
• Roseate Spoonbills your bird? Enjoy that pink baby on your coffee mug each morning.
• The Sabine Pass Lighthouse looks vintage in black and white photos fashioned into puzzles and magnets.
• Little travelers can hug Southeast Texas stuffed critters such as gators, ducks and squirrels all the way home.

Go to the Museum to learn about the Port Arthur region’s oil-rich history, music legends from Janis Joplin to Tex Ritter and our sports heroes from Wade and Bum Phillips to Stephen Jackson and Jamaal Charles.

Leave with a little bit of gift shop flair.
