Angleton Has County History in an Old Courthouse

The museum sits in Angleton's 1897 courthouse. The building served the county for 40 years. Now local objects and exhibits fill the old seat of county government. The building and the collection tell two parts of the same story.

The Adriance Library and Research Center is a good reason to know the museum. It has an Old 300 database, a county cemetery database, family-history files, and many old photos. Those records can lead from a family name, a grave, or an old town to the right markers and historic sites.
