Description


Childress County Heritage Museum

The Childress County Heritage Museum is a local and regional historical museum located in Childress, Texas. It is housed at 210 Third Street near the First Baptist Church in a former U.S. Post Office building that was constructed in 1935. A project of the American Bicentennial observance, the museum was launched on January 12, 1976, at the site of the previous county jail at the Childress County Courthouse. The late A.V. McFarland served as the first museum president and curator. In 1981, the post office was purchased by Eugene Smith (1908–1985) and Janet Norris Smith (1909–2002) and donated to the museum board in memory of their parents. The current structure opened in 1983.
