Red River Historical Museum
Sherman, Texas

History

We are located in a 1914 Carnegie Library building which is a Texas Historical Landmark and is on the National Registry of Historic Places. There are three WPA oil-on-wood paintings in the building which were done by Texas artist, James Swann, who personally oversaw their hanging in 1934 and where they remain today. The museum has both temporary and permanent exhibits which display the collection of over 50,000 objects, 9,000+ of which are historic photographs. We host a free monthly lecture series where visitors are encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch and we supply chips & drinks. Subject matter varies from local and state history to quilts and how to care for your own collections. We also show free DVD's from PBS's "American Experience" series monthly.
