As a child, the first history you probably learned was from a story an older family member told you. Story telling is one of the most important tools we have in preserving history. Videos, like these, of firsthand accounts of real lives lived are invaluable to the preservation of our history.
The Pioneer City County Museum is a historic house museum serving the citizens of the City of Sweetwater and Nolan County, Texas. We are situated in the historic Ragland House, built in 1906. The home is decorated in the style of the period of the Ragland family's residency. In addition to the main house, a funeral chapel, built by the A.O. Patterson and Melvin McCoy families, houses permanent collections and an art gallery. That still leaves FOUR additional levels to EXPLORE in this unique west Texas home. Find a surprise around every corner!!!
