Museum

The Milam County Museum was still in use as the County Jail until 1978. It has now expanded to the Museum annex nearby.

The old County Jail is furnished much the same as it was before it became a museum. The building not only housed the inmates, it also was home for the County Sheriff and his family.

Museum Director, Charles D. King, has done much to make this a truly first class facility and takes full advantage of the rich history of Milam County.

If you would like to contribute artifacts, information significant to the history of Milam County or your time, contact the director at (254) 697-4770.

Dr. Krause, a long time Cameron dentist, had his office above Dusek's Pharmacy; now part of the First National Bank facility.

In practice from the early 1900's, his fixtures and equipment are on display in the Milam County Museum.

An extensive collection of Milam County artifacts is primarily displayed in the annex shown at the left. This photograph is of the prior annex location on E. Main but the annex as recently been moved to 1st Street, on the other side of the courthouse square. New photos will be posted when they become available. If you have good photos of the new location, please send by email to the webmaster.
