Since June 17,1969 when the Secretary of State of the State of Texas approved the charter for the Martin County Historical Museum we have led the effort to permanently protect the history and artifacts that tell the story of Martin County.

 History

The Martin County Historical Museum is a non-profit education organization dedicated to the preservation and educational advancement of the history of Martin County. It serves as a repository of county artifacts and a primary vehicle of communication for its institutional and individual member in promoting excellence in the acquisition, care, exhibition and interpretation of cultural materials worthy of permanent preservation.

Our Mission
