About

museum-history

The Crockett County Museum became a reality in 1939. It was located in the school until 1958 when it was  moved to the Courthouse Annex.

The building itself has an interesting history.  Originally, it was the Methodist Church of Ozona.  It was built in 1926, but burned in 1942 leaving only the rock structure. The building was turned into a hospital, which was there until 1956.  It was then that it became the Courthouse Annex which is where the Crockett County Museum landed two years later in 1958. Finally, in 1998 the museum began restoration to solely occupy the three-story building.


The museum is host to many events throughout the year. Among our more noteworthy events are our yearly Veterans Exhibit and Night on the Town hosting Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus each fall.

With each visit we only ask for a $3 donation to help support these exciting moments in history.

Please note that we are closed on major holidays which includes Christmas, Independence day and New Years.
