About The Sherman Museum

The museum was founded in 1976 in Sherman and occupies a Carnegie library completed in 1914, one of only a few such buildings still standing in Texas. Its collection includes three oil-on-wood paintings by James Swann installed in 1934, and a separate church building next door stores more than 50,000 artifacts and has 48 original stained-glass windows. The museum also runs school programs, children's workshops, and traveling exhibits, and it features a display of 95 mostly educational dolls.
