Apelt Armadillo Farm
Comfort, Texas

At Apelt Armadillo Farm, German immigrant Charles Apelt sits in front of his showroom while keeping an eye on the armadillos he caught and bred. The family enterprise included novelties made from armadillos such as baskets, lamps, wall hangings, and operated for about 70 years. Live animals were also sold to zoos, circuses and medical research facilities.
