History
The Williamson Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation opened in 2003 to collect, preserve and exhibit items relating to the rich culture and heritage of Williamson County. We offer free and exciting hands-on educational programs to the public through innovative exhibits, tours and outreach including our annual Chisholm Trail Days Event at San Gabriel Park and Pioneer Day at Old Settlers Park. Through our extensive educational outreach programs, our goal is to preserve the unique stories of the county for both present and future generations. We offer field trips, in-school special events and travelling trunks to students in K - 12th grades - both including public, private and homeschools. In addition, the Museum provides insight and accurate historical information based on first-hand sources in a variety of areas. This focus allows the Museum to effectively educate, entertain and enlighten our visitors.
