| The Hopkins County Museum is housed in the architecturally distinct George H. Wilson house. Built in 1910, the house features many unique design elements including double-bricked walls, carved columns, and an unusual Regency-style spherical ceiling rising from four spindled arches. Museum displays include Civil War memorabilia, Caddo Indian relics, miniatures, women's period apparel, a doll collection, and much more. The Heritage Park features 11 acres of historical buildings from Hopkins County which have been relocated to the park for restoration and preservation. |

You'll experience the flavor of small town Texas around the turn of the century as you tour such notable structures as a working blacksmith shop, the first brick home in the county, a country store and post office, a bandstand, a grist mill, log houses, farm homes, a chapel, and more. Displays include early agricultural, printing, medical, and broom making equipment. Complete your visit with a stop in the gift shop, featuring books on local and regional history. |
