Along with the history of Wharton county and all it entails (war, religion, college, agriculture, sports, commerce) The Museum also has a trophy room given to the Museum by Marshall and Lillie Johnson. The room includes animals brought back from around the world. We also have the childhood home of Dan Rather on the Museum grounds (as he was a native of Wharton County) and we are also proud to be the birthplace of famous author Horton Foote.
