Officially opened as a historical museum in 1984, the Everett Building has a rich history of its own. Originally constructed as Citizen's National Bank in 1910, it would be over 50 years before the building would become the Everett building. Named after Citizen's National Bank president L. J. Everett, the building remained empty until it was taken over by the Gregg County Historical Foundation. As it stands today, the building maintains its original beauty and serves to preserve Gregg County's history.
