==''Texas Country Reporter'' interview==
In 2007, Potts told Bob Phillips in his long-running ''Texas Country Reporter'' syndicated [[television]] series]] that Medicine Mound "was [[rural]] America, and it was complete. We had everything we needed right here. . . . I want the people remembered who settled the area. . . . [This place] has meaning; they had a place in history." <ref name=tcr>Myna Potts, ''Texas Country Reporter,'' September 1, 2007:http://www.texascountryreporter.com/show.htm; Myna (Hicks) Potts, D.M.M.P.G./Medicine Mound Museum, 8450 South FM 91, Quanah, Texas 79252, 940-839-4344 or medicinemound.com</ref>

Phillips narrated his observations as follows: [Potts] is one woman determined to keep this town's history together. . . . We found Medicine Mound on Highway 1167 far from anything but the hills that the native Comanche held sacred, the mounds that give this place its name. Once we were here, we felt close to those who built the community, and the past didn't seem so far away."<ref name=tcr/>

The museum is particularly known for its extensive collection of hundreds of [[photograph]]s of early pioneers as well as old bottles, store fixtures, and a variety of items once sold in the mercantile, such as hats. Potts began assembling the pictures when she worked with western author Bill Neal (not to be confused with former Texas state historian [[Bill O'Neal]]), who wrote a book on the region, ''Our Stories, Legends of the Mounds.''<ref>"Medicine Mound Texas: Population Zero", website of Downtown Medicine Mound Preservation Group:http://www.medicinemound.com/portfolio/content.cfm?imageStart=4&StartRow=1&PageNum=1&cate=1&pageType=3&pageID=1&imageID=259&oneachpage=12</ref>
