Lamar County Historical Museum — Attraction in Paris

Lamar County Historical Museum is the "L" at the south end of Heritage hall. It seems like 🦁 Narnia ↝ Bigger on the inside than on the outside ↜. You walk into a big rectangular display room ▌w/ more recent historical subject matter, followed by an octagonal 🛑 portal to themed rooms, & finally to a huge square room ⬜, complete w/ log cabin & artifacts necessary to19th century (1800's) living. The museum is non-profit & manned by volunteers. It's chock-full of alluring history & could fascinate me for hours. 🏈 My favorite exhibit in the 1st room was the Gene Stallings area, but it's only one of many captivating schemes. 🛑 My favorite themed rooms accessed from the octagonal portal were the black history panoramas. ⬜ Lastly, having the enjoyment from & unique insight of my guide thru ⅔ 's of the museum, we enter the huge back room w/ 100's of 19th century daily life-artifacts & a log cabin. I was amazed. ✅ Give Lamar County Historical Museum a try & find Your favorite...

If we are ever in the area again, we will be back. I highly...
