Preserve and Honor the Past,  Connect with the Present,   Embrace the Future

Due to the increase in Covid numbers the museum will not open in December 2020.
​We will evaluate and announce our reopening plans for 2021.

Texas Historic Landmark

The museum is located in the historic
​1911 Post Office building.  It's a great place to discover historical artifacts, photographs, documents, diaries, manuscripts, maps, archival newspapers, and land records. Collin County History Museum makes learning a fun experience and provides valuable research information for genealogists, historians, authors, teachers and students.
