Crockett County Museum

Help Keep West Texas History Alive! At the Crockett County Museum, we're more than a building filled with old artifacts - we're the storytellers of West Texas. Since 1939, our nonprofit museum has been dedicated to preserving the rich heritage, culture, and spirit of the region, from ancient arrowheads to the tools and tales of early settlers. Every exhibit holds a piece of our shared past - but we can't preserve it alone. Your donation helps protect priceless artifacts, support educational programs, and ensure future generations can explore the roots of West Texas.

​The Crockett County Museum in Ozona, Texas, plays a vital role in preserving and showcasing the rich history of West Texas. Established in 1939, the museum offers visitors a journey through time with its extensive collections of artifacts, including Native American arrowheads, fossils, and exhibits on early 19th-century life. Housed in a three-story building, the museum provides an immersive experience into the region's past. ​

Beyond its exhibits, the museum contributes to the community by serving as an educational resource and a cultural hub. It supports local heritage through events and collaborations, fostering a sense of identity and continuity among residents. The museum's efforts ensure that the stories and artifacts of West Texas are preserved for future generations.

Testimonials

"Worth a visit lots of well displayed nostalgia and history in this museum. They offer guided and unguided. We had 4kids under 8 so we went unguided. I could see where guided would have given us more information. But the kids weren't going to tolerate it. Kids did get to dig for arrow heads." - Tamara Foster

Through-out the museum, you will find other interesting tidbits about encounters with coyotes or treasure hunters as well as information about the people who have built Ozona from over 100 yrs ago to present. There are also the normal artifacts you find in museums...guns, clothes, furniture. - H Tucker
