Reviews of Vanishing Texana Museum

This is a nice place to beat the heat and learn a few things about Jacksonville and the surrounding area. I am an enrolled Texas Cherokee Tsalagiyi Nvdagi Tribal Citizen and I wish they had more information and artifacts about our Tribe especially since all of Cherokee and Smith Counties was part of our original Land Grant territory.

Wonderful local museum. Would go back to see another rotating exhibit.

Kim was a delight. My sister in law and I absolutely loved it and will be going back for sure. Pretty neat little place.

Lots of interesting exhibits, well done!! And an amazing guide!! Well worth the trip and time!!
