The lady working there when we visited was so wonderful! We were the only ones there and she walked with us and literally gave a tour. Great experience.

Great relics from WW2, Native American tribes, French explorers, Union and Confederate soldiers, etc. Small gift shop with Calhoun County books and postcards. SEE PHOTOS.This is off the beaten path and not too well marked. No charge and free parking, but donations are accepted.

Stop what youre doing and come here! Its free but if I had to pay it would still be worth it. The woman working there is knowledgeable and gave us a mini tour. A great way to learn about the history of the surrounding area!

Much bigger than it appears from the outside, the collections span a wide variety of local history. Ample information about Indianola, which is handy since the town is no longer. If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask the volunteers - the good lady operating the museum while I visited was incredibly knowledgeable about all things Port Lavaca and Calhoun County. I left with a much deeper appreciation for the area.

Fascinating museum. Has a Caranchua Indian exhibit and an authentic Fresnel lens used in light houses. Museum Director George Anne Cormier is quite the expert
