SHELBY COUNTY MUSEUM
Telling "The Shelby County Story"
Located in the center of Shelby County, deep in the rolling
hills of East Texas' pineywoods, the Shelby County Museum and Shelby County
Historical Society are celebrating over 36 years of preserving the past.
The Museum is located in the historic 1910 Weaver-Gates
House, which was built by E.H. Barren. You'll find yourself taking an
educational journey through American Indian life, early Spanish and European
explorations and the episodes thereafter that forever shaped the landscape
of Texas and Shelby County.
Visitors will stroll through the museum's interpretation
of Shelby County's past. You'll find photographs, letters, furniture,
quilts and textiles, Civil War, WWI and WWII memorabilia along with a
complete Genealogy Research Library and staff to assist.
