Reviews
"A delightful free museum right downtown in the historic square. Housed in a former bank, this museum features some unique murals and articles on the local history. Very friendly docent willing to be of service. I recommend seeing this museum and then walk on down to the visitor center and get a walking tour map of the historic square. Makes for a fine afternoon. Plan on 15-20 minutes for this museum."
"Not the best experience. My friend and me were very excited to visit this museum to hear and see the history of Williamson county, but visiting it we were very disappointed about the little history of Williamson county, no info about the person who was important for county and why the Williamson county was named by him, but too much story about a man from a circus, who used to dress like woman, no connection at all with the history for me, our expectations were a bit different from what we expected from museum especially if you are new in Texas. Anyway we appreciated Ron’s attention and we hope that in the future the history of Texas and Williamson county will be represented in museum more deep and authentic, I am sure there are a lot of interesting things to know about Williamson county."
"Wow this a great museum. We were given an amazing (free) guided tour. We loved the genuine mastodon teeth. The variety of hands on items impressed us all. I have never looked through genuine antique stereoscopic "3D" viewers.. until now! Check out the pic of my son holding real mastodon teeth! Thank you for the hospitality!"
"We popped in to the museum on the advice of an employee at the Thundercloud Sub shop nearby. We happened to arrive at the exact time a tour of the courthouse was leaving. The tour was very interesting and Ron was a wealth of information. We never actually saw much of the museum but the courthouse tour was definitely worth it! The museum and/or tour are both completely free."
"This is a great little museum and it's free, so you really can't beat that. Without Covid, I suspect it's better with more hands-on experiences and I think they do tours of the Courthouse but not right now. I think I liked best that you can see it was an old bank (ca. 1910.) The ceiling is really cool and you can go in the old vault and see an old cannonball safe. Don't fail to walk all the way back in the hallway to see the photo of "Nannie" and her wedding gown - that's Texas expression if I've ever seen one. All in all, a very cool building! And some unique items for sale in the gift shop."
