Small museum, but there is plenty to see. I spent an easy 40 minutes looking at all the artifacts they carry. Very cool if you like to know about Texas history.

Very cool experience my nephew loved it! We learned so much about Waxahachie a place we grew up in and apparently knew so little about, completely free but they do kindly accept donations.

My experience at the Ellis County Museum was educational and fascinating. The exhibits offer a comprehensive look at local history, with well-preserved artifacts and informative narratives. The staff is friendly and happy to provide additional details. The museums architecture and interior design add a charming touch. I recommend this tour for those interested in exploring the rich history of Ellis County in an accessible and engaging way.

My husband & I were pleasantly surprised at the depth of information in this museum. The gentleman that volunteered was very helpful and friendly. The the vast amount of Ellis Countys cotton industry was surprising and very informative. I enjoyed the authentic dresses which was on displayed. We loved the Veterans display. When the remodel is completed this museum will be a 5 star museum, in my opinion.

This museum was a treasure trove of information about Waxahachie and Ellis County. I learned a lot about the county, and its history during The Great War and WWII. The women manning the desk were very helpful and knowledgeable. Excellent place to go to learn of the history of the place

We went to see if we could find out anything about our new old Victorian and Shannon, the owner, helped us find out that our address has actually changed 4 times! He showed us the historical surveys and the slides of our home! But best if all, he gave us tips on where to go and what to do to find out more! Just this little bit of information has helped us out so much and we cant wait to find out the entire history of our beautiful home! So, thank you, Shannon, very, very much!

If you have time to read all of the information plaques you will learn a lot about the history of Waxahachie. There is an attendant (volunteer) that will be happy to help you with any questions that arrise. It was fun to see the town as it was in the early 1900s.
