Ive been going to the Museum of North Texas History from time to time when Im in Wichita Falls, Texas for the experience of learning more this citys great history. Easy to find thanks to the wonderful signage in the front, I was able to explore the vast Western history and military displays. This museum is a pretty decent size and even has a theater room in it for various movies. Id recommend this museum to anyone who wants to learn more of this destination city.

Now heres a local guide gem right here! If youre a history buff and like to see very old things preserved in glass casing, old maps, the iron lung, old military items and fatigues, etc, this is the place for you. Ive been here twice and its pretty awesome, like taking a step back in time. They have a guided tour throughout the museum too. The guide was knowledgeable and didnt rush the tour. Definitely worth checking out if you like all things history. You will certainly learn something you didnt know before.

Great experience visiting. Has a lot of information about Wichita Falls TX and the surrounding area. My favorite part was seeing all of the actual cowboy hats there are hundreds. Had a small cowboy boot section that was also great. Nice to learn about the history of the area in TX

Our museum guide was Don. He was amazing and full of tons of information. We were greeted right away and given a map to explore the museum at our leisure. Don followed along, giving us space to absorb the plethera of informative historical events thoughout Wichita history, while including extra special tidbits of information about the city while we walked. Preservation of museum artifacts was excellent. Everything was clean, titled, labeled and informative. Definitely recommend, plan for a few hours if you really want to see everything.

I was visiting with the family from Miami Fl and it was a delightful experience to visit this museum. Our tour guide was an elder man originally from New York who moved to Texas many year ago and was very knowledgeable about Texas history. The place was very well organized.

There is much here for the history buff. The archives are great but you will have to make arrangements. All Wichita county records are there. There is a lot of attention to the military being a military town. For the price of a donation it is one of the best history museums I have been too.

A wonderful place to see the history of the local area. The museum docents are very knowledgable. I was there a couple hours and wasnt able to look at everything. The Then and Now exhibit is very interesting. If youre from Wichita Falls, its a must see! The exhibit is over sometime in September.

The admission is free, but the doors are locked. Once we rang the doorbell we were quickly greeted by the museum curator who let us in and explained who they were and what the rooms held.He was courteous, knew the area well and suggested other sites and museums to visit later.The selection was very interesting, had a number of historical photos of Wichtia Falls and its founding and other very interesting collections such as typewriters, war memorabilia and oil and gas displays.

Unexpectedly closed for exhibit change, not stated on their website. So we paid for two nights at a crummy campground for nothing.

A fun place to explore with the family and learn about local history. Some exhibits are temporary and new items are rotated in so you always have something new to see when you visit.

Really enjoyed Rev White on history of Dr Annie Roark and a look back on the Eastside of Wichita Falls. Each of us have a story of “back in the day”. There’s a lot to share about our history and I’m grateful to Doc Roark.
