Reviews
"Our family loves the Ellis County Museum! Michelle and the volunteers are great and although we have been visiting for 10 years, we always walk away learning something new!"
"This museum has an assortment of exhibits that will appeal to all ages. Baseball, vintage clothing, War artifacts and great gift items. A must to visit while in Waxahachie."
"Friendly staff, informed about the County & Downtown. Interesting info & displays about County history."
"Nice little museum with some really interesting things to see. The museum operates on donations and the staff worker was very friendly and informative."
"My husband & I were pleasantly surprised at the depth of information in this museum. The gentleman that volunteered was very helpful and friendly. The the vast amount of Ellis County's cotton industry was surprising and very informative. I enjoyed the authentic dresses which was on displayed. We loved the Veteran's display. When the remodel is completed this museum will be a 5 star museum, in my opinion."
