Roanoke Visitor Center and Museum - Roanoke, Texas

We were on a walk with my 9 year old daughter & her friend and decided to walk into Roanoke Visitor Center & Museum. We live in the area for 6 years and I can't believe we never experienced it. There is so much local history here plus they even have the fossils & kids who love dinosaurs & mammoths will be so happy here too. And ladies who work at the museum make history learning the most fun. I highly recommend visiting, it's great for kids and adults! And huge thank you to Roanoke residents who donated all those artifacts & fossils and to Roanoke Visitor Center & Museum associates for wonderful presentations!

My son and I had the most lovely visit today!! I sure didn't know we'd get a full hour and explanation for eventing but I was so glad we did. Both ladies were SO friendly, great at involving my son, and so informative! What a little gem this place is! I will be back soon with my teenage daughter who is a huge history buff, she will love it.

I’m visiting Roanoke for the first time to see family. This afternoon I had some free time and decided to see the visitor center. The staff (wish I noted their names) were extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing the history of their town. Highly recommended.

I happened to pop into this delightful museum today to get some brochures for my local Airbnb. What a pleasant surprises it was, a little hidden gem. I can't wait to have the time to go back there and fully explore. Stacey and Kelli the two curators were wonderful and their enthusiasm about Roanoke's history was contagious. They got me all excited about this little town I have lived in for over 30 years. I recommend anyone who lives here, or is visiting the area pop in for a little tour, I am certainly going to suggest it to all my guests. Well worth the visit it.

Interesting local museum sharing the history of Roanoke, TX located inside a nineteenth century saloon. The historical building and memorabilia are a must see. The lovely proprietor will greet you upon entry and take you on a visual trip through history. Highly recommend.

From the moment you walk into this exceptional little Museum, you are greeted by a vast of knowledge from three incredibly dedicated and welcoming employees. They commence by escorting you and your children throughout their beautiful and wonderful exhibits. They are so kind and gentle with your children. These marecoulous women get your children engaged in the historical world of Roanoke, Texas. I felt like I traveled back in time. Best of all, our friends were allowed to participate and expand on their knowledge. All their questions were answered so patiently and the children were allowed to touch certain items and explore. The kindness of all these women blew my mind. They even hugged us without hesitation at the end of our unscheduled tour. Also, we are now in their Facebook page, so Yes, they made us famous. Please, please, go check out this time capsule. It a small Museum that packs a Huge Punch 👊. Enjoy and don't forget to ask about their scavenger hunt!!!

Thank you ladies, it was an experience we will never forget.

This place is amazing! We had a wonderful tour with a fantastic tour guide. My children ages 7-13 were absolutely engaged and learned a ton (my husband and I also had a great time.) The excitement and love for the community was contagious. It's only one room but it is full of interesting and unique items. My seven year old said it was the best Saturday ever! We spent a very happy hour there.
