The Humble Museum collects and displays artifacts depicting local history and heritage, hightlighting oil, cattle, lumber, churches and everyday life in small town Humble and the surrounding area. |
The Museum was organized as a Bicentennial Project, and was
dedicated on July 1, 1976. The original building was a replica of a one room
schoolhouse and is located at 111 W. Higgins Street in Humble. A Museum Society and administrative board were set up to direct the
Museum operations. Through the work and efforts of the first board of
directors, a charter and state approval were secured.

Local residents donated so many artifacts that the Museum soon outgrew the
area. A building fund was started and community support, interest and
encouragement made it possible for the Board of Directors to purchase
the building at 219 Main Street on December 3, 1985. Remodeling,
restoring, decorating and furnishing the building was completed in June
of 1988 and the building was dedicated September 25,1988.
Tours of the Museums are designed to portray "the way it was back then" in the Humble area.
