Free admission and parking. Plan on 20 minutes to 1 hour max. There is no sign indicating the entrance / hours/ days. You enter through the painted, windowless double doors facing the parking lot. It does not look like an entrance - it looks like a warehouse or back door. Pull hard, the door sticks so you'll think your at the wrong place. There is a side door with a doorbell: it is locked and nobody answers the bell. Once inside there are about 20 signs, some photos, and a handfull of artifacts. Upstairs are some quilts. The highlight is a model of how the building used to look.
Old building full of history. My only complaint is that there is so much more they could present historically and I feel like the current setup doesn't do it justice.
Friendly staff and exhibits change do its good to visit more than once.
The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, there is a lot of interesting things to explore in this little hometown museum.
I have a long love affair with the Brazoria County Historical Museum. It all started when the building was the Angleton Library. A truly magical place to roam the stacks for a bookworm. Flash ahead to now and the old Lady is getting a face lift. New paint and an elevator making the place even more fun. The museum changes out some of the exhibits 3 or 4 times a year. The local county history is a permanent exhibit from local Indians thru Steven Austin's colony to the Texas Independence, civil war, WWII to now. There are author meet and greets, summer concerts on the lawn and the wonderful Austin Town reenactment in November. Come and visit the staff is warm and friendly!
