About Texas City Museum

The Texas City Museum, supported by the City of Texas City, shares local history and culture in a 30,000 square foot building. Its galleries cover the 1947 Texas City Disaster, the founding of the city, a naval cannon from a historic ship, an early aviation squadron, and the local school system. A children's discovery room gives younger visitors a hands-on space. A model railroad club display runs on Saturdays on the second floor.
