White Settlement Historical Museum

White Settlement, Texas

History, Library

We have erected a windmill and have acquired a historic log cabin, built in 1864. We have constructed a replica of a well and have provided a typical outhouse. Frances Colwell has published a booklet detailing the history of the cabin complete with many old photographs.

Mrs. Colwell has collected information and is preparing another historical book on the Thompson Cemetery. This cemetery was restored by the White Settlement Historical Society after decades of neglect and valdalism. The Judd Street Cemetery was also restored.

We hope to instill in the minds of the children in our area the importance of maintaining community history. We do this by encouraging school class visits and by taking our exhibits to school classes.
