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>​

Museum hours are usually 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday but also by appointment. In many ways, Medicine Mound Museum is Potts' "personal museum," the story of her own life.<ref>"Quanah," ''Texas State Travel Guide, 2008,'' pp. 129-130.</ref> There is a highway rest stop on U.S. 287 to assist travelers desiring to detour to Medicine Mound to see the four mounds, the historical museum, and the ghost town.<ref>Angela Timmons, "Kiosks make travel touch and go," ''The Amarillo Globe-News,'' June 30, 2003:http://www.amarillo.com/stories/063003/tex_kioskshelpful.shtml</ref>​

Photographer Joe Miller recommends a visit to Medicine Mound for those who like solitude: "Potts is a gracious hostess and the place is certainly worth a visit. I love places like Medicine Mound because I hate crowds -- especially when I'm trying to do photography.  I set up my heavy tripod in the middle of the street knowing that there probably wouldn't be any traffic and, if someone did come along they would most likely pull around me and wave like they do when you meet them on the highway. There's not a lot of [[road rage]] in Medicine Mound."<ref>Joe Miller Fine Art Photography, Photo Log, 2004:http://www.fineart-photography.com/photologS4.html</ref>​
