blanket museum of history

Only open Saturdays but opened by request for our small group with some of us from out of state, on a Friday afternoon, a labor of love for the founder....lots of area family history and fun things to see.

This is a surprisingly large and very well-done local history museum, featuring many displays of historical artifacts, farm and ranch equipment, household items, historical photographs, and even a portion of the pioneer Smith/Nix House. The museum is open on Saturday afternoons, or by appointment, and is also a research center for family histories, genealogy, and the history of Blanket. Located just down the street from Katy's Steakhouse Restaurant. Although it is only a short drive from Brownwood, it's a good idea to call the museum or check with the Brownwood Chamber of Commerce to make sure they are open.
