Special Museum Book Sale May 19

The Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum is dedicated to the preservation of the history of the American cotton industry, as well as the history of Hunt County, Texas and the northern Texas Blackland Prairie. Located in historic Greenville, Texas on ten acres of Texas Blacklands, the Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum physical plant includes the Ende-Gaillard House, the oldest house in Greenville, a cotton patch, and picnic areas.

Founded in 1987 as the Hunt County Museum, Greenville’s nationally known Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum has grown from an idea of the local chapter of the American Association of University Women and a downtown storefront location to a major tourist attraction and research center.  Host of the annual Cotton History Conference, numerous other conferences, symposiums, and festivals, the Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum is on the forefront of local history and historical cotton research in Texas.  The Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum is very involved in community activities and historic preservation throughout Hunt County.

Our local history gallery is widely known as home to the Audie L. Murphy Hunt County Veteran’s Exhibit, a large collection of military memorabilia relating to Audie Murphy and other Hunt County veterans, as well as many temporary local history exhibits. 

Open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., the Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum welcomes individual tours, scholastic tours, and group tours. Tours for individuals are self-guided, but groups ten or larger may call ahead at least six weeks for a guided tour with a docent. No guided tours are provided without reservations. The Ende-Gaillard House is open by appointment and weather permitting.
