The Williamson Museum — Attraction in Georgetown

Our county has an outstanding museum, not only on the square in Georgetown but also on the Chisholm Trail in Round Rock. There is no fee for admittance. Stop in and see the wonderful exhibits and interactive history sites. If you have kids, it's a must do. There are so many activities and events - make certain you pick up a calendar of upcoming events - there is even a fantastic kids day camp available. In October, the fundraising event is the Cattleman's Ball. I had so much fun last year I can't wait to go again this year! Good food, great music and so much fun. If you have been meaning to make some new friends and get active in your community there is no better place to get started! Members get special invitations to everything you can imagine, from authors lecture series to brunch in the Courthouse for the annual Poppy Festival. If you join any organization, pick this one first. I promise you will enjoy...

My friend and I visited Georgetown on a day trip from out of town recently. The museum is right on the square, so if you are visiting the square, you should take a walk through the museum. We visited on a Saturday, and it wasn't busy, but it was January and a cold, very windy day. The museum is small, but it is located inside an old bank building, has several exhibits and great representation of the history of Williamson county. The staff is very friendly and helpful and greeted us as soon as we walked in. We didn't have any kids with us, but there are some hands-on parts for the kids. There is a gift shop that has hand made items. I got a post card with a photo of the museum to keep as a souvenir and some earrings. While the museum is free to visit, cash donations are welcome and can be placed in the donation box. Cards are accepted at the gift...

Not the best experience. My friend and me were very excited to visit this museum to hear and see the history of Williamson county, but visiting it we were very disappointed about the little history of Williamson county, no info about the person who was important for county and why the Williamson county was named by him, but too much story about a man from a circus, who used to dress like woman, no connection at all with the history for me, our expectations were a bit different from what we expected from museum especially if you are new in Texas. Anyway we appreciated Ron’s attention and we hope that in the future the history of Texas and Williamson county will be represented in museum more deep and authentic, I am sure there are a lot of interesting things to know about...
