About Ennis Railroad and Cultural Heritage Museum

The museum sits on the east side of the railroad tracks in downtown Ennis and is run by the city. Its displays cover the town's rail past, including railroad memorabilia, dioramas, and replicas of depots. Visitors can also see a china collection tied to the old rail lines and a set of Czech dolls brought from the old country. A short video traces the town's history, which began when Ennis was founded as a town in 1872.
