The Coryell Museum and Historical Center was founded in 1980 when the remnants of several local historical associations were combined into one entity. The museum's first home was in an abandoned lumber yard which, with the tireless work of volunteers,was transformed into an attractive collection of local historical artifacts and documents. The museum's primary effort was,and still is, the collection, preservation, and display of items related to the settling and building of Central Texas, from the days of the Republic of Texas to today.
