From 1981 until his death two decades later, Sam Touchstone operated the Touchstone Wildlife & Art Museum on U.S. Highway 80 in Haughton. The facility showcases taxidermist exhibits on two floors from floor to ceiling with specimens of animals from all over the world. After Sam Touchstone's death, his second wife, Lura Patrick Touchstone (born September 1931), of Bossier City and her daughter, Samantha Olson, continued to operate and expand the museum. The facility also contains artifacts of [[Native Americans]]  and a section on the notorious outlaws [[Bonnie and Clyde]], who rampaged through [north Louisiana to their deaths in 1934. In March 2017, Mrs. Touchstone, announced that the museum has fallen on difficult economic times with declining attendance, and the future of the facility remained doubtful. She noted that many schools no longer send children to the wildlife museum on field trips though the facility had been very popular with young people in the past.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://press-herald.com/haughton-museum-faces-closure/|title=Haughton museum faces closure|publisher=''Minden Press-Herald''|author=Amanda Simmons|accessdate=March 25, 2017}}</ref>​ As of the summer of 2019, the museum, which is rated highly among its patrons, was still operational.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/touchstonemuseum/|title=Touchstone Wildlife & Art Museum|publisher=[[Facebook]]|accessdate=August 24, 2019}}</ref>
