Future Home of the Limestone County Museum

The Board of Directors is excited to officially announce that the museum association was recently gifted the Bessling-Cannon-Phillips Home in Mexia by the Jack and Mary Phillips Charitable Trust (Comerica Bank, Trustee) as a new home for the county museum.  Restoration of some the original features of this 1896 Queen Anne Victorian are planned, and rehabilitation work to the home and property to make them better accessible to the public will also be completed.  Relocating the museum to the new site will provide more exhibit space and better environmental controls.  It will also provide a large space for archival storage, which the current building does not have. 

Fossils on Display

The museum has a small collection of fossils that were found in Limestone County, many of which were unidentified until recently.  They are now on display for everyone to view.
