McMillan Museum Honors African-American Experience
Published Dec 15, 2008

The African American experience in East Texas is honored at the A.C. McMillan African American Museum in Rains County.

The building in Emory has a number of exhibits and artifacts that detail the stories of the Reconstruction era in Texas, as well as Negro League baseball and Buffalo soldiers. The museum also includes a number of vintage U.S. postage stamps as well as a display of the Rosenwald Schools in the South. In fact, the museum is now in the midst of a fund-raising campaign to ultimately preserve and restore a vacated Rosenwald School building in the community.

The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday-Saturday. Admission is free. Call (903) 474-0083 for more information.
