Lamar County Historical Museum is the L at the south end of Heritage hall. It seems like Narnia ↝ Bigger on the inside than on the outside ↜. You walk into a big rectangular display room ▌w/ more recent historical subject matter, followed by an octagonal portal to themed rooms, & finally to a huge square room, complete w/ log cabin & artifacts necessary to19th century (1800s) living. The museum is non-profit & manned by volunteers. Its chock-full of alluring history & could fascinate me for hours. My favorite exhibit in the 1st room was the Gene Stallings area, but its only one of many captivating schemes. My favorite themed rooms accessed from the octagonal portal were the black history panoramas. Lastly, having the enjoyment from & unique insight of my guide thru ⅔ s of the museum, we enter the huge back room w/ 100s of 19th century daily life-artifacts & a log cabin. I was amazed. Give Lamar County Historical Museum a try & find Your favorite exhibits...

This is a true gem of Paris, TX. The local history in combination with the knowledge of the volunteers who work here is amazing! There is plenty here to keep kids and adults of any age engaged!
