wonderful place to visit!

It is housed in an historical building and oozes with nostalgia and history. I believe you can also have computer access there as well.

Modern Texas History
Travelers who enjoy Texas history and/or architecture should definitely visit this well-maintained museum. Allan Shivers was a Texas Governor and statesman during the 1940s to 1960s. You first visit the local library attached to the museum to pay a small fee for the tour. The senior citizen discount is for those over 50! A librarian will escort you to the historic house next door. The house was not Allan Shivers' home but he and his wife saved this house from destruction to house his memorabilia. The tour includes a short video presentation, a room full of political cartoons featuring Gov. Shivers, gowns worn by Mrs. Shivers at inaugurations, African safari trophies, and his personal library including rare Texas history books.

Quaint
I have been to the library but not museum. It is a fairly small library. Nice staff. But a negative is that there is a fee to get a book transferred from another library? This was new to me.
