"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."
