As the lights go up across our towns, we’re reflecting on a year full of hands-on history at The Williamson Museum—moments you helped make possible.
Because of friends like you this year:
Families built memories (and birdhouses!) at Building Up WilCo, our hands-on exhibit inspired by Belford’s legacy.
Students explored the past through Traveling Trunks and virtual field trips at Old Settlers Association—bringing local history to classrooms and 19,110 Central Texas students
Community favorites—from courthouse tours to ghost walks—welcomed neighbors and visitors, keeping our stories lively and connected.
We began preparations for America 250 and our upcoming Lights, Camera, Williamson County exhibit, celebrating the people and places that shaped WilCo.
To carry this momentum into 2026, we need your support before December 31. Your tax-deductible gift ensures free and affordable programs, preserves artifacts, and keeps learning interactive for every visitor. Make your donation to preserve local history today!

The American Revolution Experience will travel to scores of libraries, historical societies and museums through 2027, introducing visitors to a cast of historical characters with diverse experiences throughout the conflict and the places they visited on their journey.
This innovative pop-up exhibition includes display panels and interactive digital kiosks that use storytelling, illustration, technology and unique artifacts and primary accounts to connect modern audiences with the people and places that shaped the birth of our nation.
Hosted by the Daniel Coleman Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, The Williamson Museum, and Williamson County.
