The Heart of Texas Historical Museum
is housed in the old McCulloch County Jail. The jail was constructed in 1910 at a cost of $14,418.75. The three-story structure served as the county's correctional facility until 1974, when it was deeded to the Heart of Texas Historical Museum. Although never used, it contains a death cell which was converted to a security cell for more "troublesome" prisoners. The first floor consisted mainly of jailer's quarters, with the top two floors housing prisoners. The museum, located at the corner of Main and High Streets (one block west of the square), is open on Saturday and Monday from 1:00-5:00 p.m., and on Sunday from 1:00-4:00 p.m.
