About Northeast Texas Rural Heritage Center and Museum

The center runs two sites: a former railway depot that holds local and regional history, including Caddo artifacts, and a farmstead museum that shows rural life from the late 1800s and early 1900s. One admission covers both. Highlights include a working telegraph, an 1894 telephone switchboard, vintage vehicles, a printing press, and a replica of the Ezekiel Airship, which the museum says flew in 1901 near the depot.
