Cooter's Place
Cooter's Place, also known simply as Cooter's, is the collective name of three museums in the United States, exhibiting memorabilia from the American action comedy TV series The Dukes of Hazzard. The museums are named after Cooter Davenport, one of the main characters in the show.
The museums are "operated by none other than ol’ Cooter himself;" that is, Ben Jones.
Cooter Davenport
Cooter Davenport, the museum's namesake, is the mechanic of Hazzard County, where the show takes place. At the start of the first season, he is depicted as having an extremely rowdy personality; he disregards the law frequently. This has earned him the CB handle "Crazy Cooter".However, Cooter manages to tone down his wildness by the end of the first season, becoming more easy-going. He owns a garage across from the Hazzard County Sheriffs' Department called "Cooter's Garage".
