In the town of Fort Worth, Texas a light bulb, very much like
the one in Livermore, (most likely a Shelby), has been burning
for 99 years as of Sept. 21, 2007! The countdown to 100 has begun!
Most of its time was spent at the rear entrance door to the
Palace Theatre, and after it's demolition, was moved to the Stockyards
Museum. As the museum is mainly devoted to the cattle, and cowboys,
the bulb has it's own special corner and display.
This display, and webpage, is due to the efforts of Sarah
Biles, who runs the museum. So please join me in exploring behind
the glass, to learn the history of this amazing little Palace
Bulb.

I have also made a few more pages if you are curious
about the bulb and the theatre it graced once upon a time.

Please feel free to visit the Stockyards Museum from
9-5, Monday-Friday, located at Fort Worth, TX 76164. As the historic
town has it's main theme around cattle, so does the museum. But
the Palace Bulb has a warm spot there and in the heart of Fort
Worth.
Keep Glowing Palace Bulb!!!
