"Lots of stuff to see..even has a childrens dress and play area down stairs!"
"Enjoyed it so much this was very informative."
"Great place to learn n have your kids play in the play area."
"Wonderful Model Train Display. Engineers were very friendly and informative. Take your children to see this. I want to go back and go thru the rest of the museum when I have more time. Didn't realize that there was that much stuff in display. Great job !"
"This was my first time visiting and I have to say, a Christmas time visit is the best! So much history and the very best in Texas style story telling. The tour was amazing, I could have stayed here all day if time allowed. This experience is great for just adults or for the whole family. I was even able to watch them put together this incredible train set which was really special! Ok and I have it on good authority, on the third floor may or may not be a haunted coffin! Definitely make this stop when you can!"
"Took the family here for a Saturday visit. Always something new that the kids love."
"I love history, this is the original bank from the Dalton Gang bank robbery and they still have an original teller cage and the bank vault. You can see little portals of days gone by from a fancy parlor to how early settlers would have lived in small one room cabins. Very cost effective and engaging for the kids. I have been going there since I was a child."
"Great place to learn about much of the local history. The displays are kept very clean and organized. The beautifully ornate old bank building has several rooms with a variety of displays. The military gun collection is very interesting, along with an impressive collection of Caddo Indian pottery recovered from the East Texas area, a room with displays relating to the hot air balloon races in Longview, and lots more. This would be an excellent field trip for home school students. We will definitely go again the next time we're in the area."
