The Wharton County Museum is
dedicated to preserving the history, culture, and traditions
of the county. One of the oldest counties in Texas, Wharton
is part of the land grant from Mexico settled by thirty-one
families of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, and became
one of the earliest core settlements of Anglos and African-Americans.
English, American,
African-American, Indian, Czech, Danish, Mexican, and many
other cultures formed the tapestry of history that is now
preserved in the museum. Come visit us and get a view into
one of the best and most dramatic stories in the Americas!

Century Technology Museum
The 20th Century Technology Museum was founded to exhibit
items that showcase the highlights of technological developments
in the 20th century. While this may seem too recent
a subject for a historical museum, with the rapid pace of
technological change, items from the first half of the 20th
century are truly "museum pieces" at this point. Technology
from the latter half of the century may not seem so antiquated,
but items from this period help to show how the earlier items
relate to current technology.
