The Lake Jackson Historical Museum chronicles the history of the area with interactive exhibits and lifelike animatrons from four eras of history: the prehistoric ere, the plantation era, the petrochemical development and modern times. Learn why Lake Jackson’s streets are named “This Way” and “That Way,” or try your luck flying the Windecker Eagle, the first all-composite aircraft to receive FAA certification. The historical association also manages the Alden Dow Office Museum and the Abner Jackson Plantation site.
