To celebrate the Gregg County Historical Museum's 40th Birthday, plans are in place to expand and enhance current exhibits and add emphasis to Gregg County topics of historical relevance. The Military Exhibit will move into the current office space, enlarging it approximately six times and increasing the museum's street level handicapped accessibility. Museum offices will be relocated to the second floor. The Transportation Exhibit will get a permanent train display and a virtual reality hot air balloon ride. In the basement, the Kids Zone will gain a display of prominent Gregg County athletes and interactive features will be added to the Caddo Indian Exhibit including a Caddo hut and hands-on dig site. The goal for updating the current exhibits is to encourage visitors to return and introduce a new generation of patrons to the museum.
