Product Description

The mission of the Matagorda County Museum is to collect, preserve and protect the county’s cultural heritage so it is only fitting that the museum makes its home in a historical building constructed in 1918 as the Federal Post Office in Bay City.  To those ends, the museum’s exhibits include early Texas exploration, regional ranching and farming heritage along with a display of artifacts from the shipwreck La Belle, a 17-century vessel of French explorer Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle.

The Matagorda County Children’s Museum, a hands-on historical town, is perfect for exploring life as it was lived long ago in Matagorda County, Texas.
