Calhoun County Museum - Port Lavaca (TX)

5 /5 Julysblue: Small museum with a lot information about Calhoun County-history. The museum has different small sections each one refers about specific times on Calhoun county. It has a section about the natives, about the french settlement , the Spanish settlement, about the lifestyle in the last century, a model how it was Indianola, about the light house, etc. Plus personal staff is friendly and well prepared to answer doubts. Many artifacts were donated by local families. It is lovely to see how they want to preserve their history.Thank you for sharing. Hopefully in a future they can have a bigger space for so much valuable information.

5 /5 Google User: Wonderful museum in downtown Port Lavaca. I especially liked the Third Order Fresnel Lens from the 1852 Matagorda Island Lighthouse and the beautiful quilt on display at the entrance. Helpful friendly docents.

5 /5 William B: Great relics from WW2, Native American tribes, French explorers, Union and Confederate soldiers, etc. Small gift shop with Calhoun County books and postcards. SEE PHOTOS. This is off the beaten path and not too well marked. No charge and free parking, but donations are accepted.

5 /5 Suzanne Pike: What a wonderful museum, located in an unassuming County building. This museum was remarkable; tons of artifacts, and the docent was personable and informative. The visit to this museum was one of the highlights of our trip! This is a FREE museum ( with a donation box ).

5 /5 Dennis Pohle: Excellent, small museum with history from pre European exploration thru WW2. Unique artifacts from LaSalle’s ship, native Americans, civil war, and westward expansion. Our guide provided a great tour taking us around and covering the highlights of the museum and local area.
