Our Heroes
Established in 1995, the Spring Historical Museum strives to preserve the rich heritage of the area. Completed in 1948 as a church, it then served for a number of years as a courthouse. Years later, standing unused, the Spring Historical Society had the vision and tenacity to transform the building into the treasure it is today.
Old Town Spring, nestled within the Town of Spring, Texas, is steeped in history as an 18th-century farming community and 19th-century railroad hub, now a Texas Historic Landmark. The Spring Historical Museum, refurbished in 2019 with a vibrant yellow hue, stands as a prominent landmark in Old Town Spring.

Railroad Exhibit and Model Train Display
The Grand Opening of our railroad exhibit on Saturday, October 5th was a huge success! Thank you to everyone that visited and congratulations to the winners of our prize giveaway on Monday, October 7th. Our railroad exhibit will be on display through the end of the year (2024) and our model train exhibit is a permanent addition to the museum. Our HO scale locomotive will run during normal business hours.
Just take a look at this family on laundry day in Spring in the 1920s.
We have engaged a company to create a 3D replica of Wunsche Bros, unfortunately due to budget constraints are currently fundraising to make it happen. Please consider making a special donation to help us complete our scale version of Spring as it looked in the 1920s.
New Exhibit for 2025
We will kick off next year with a Native American exhibit which will tell the story of the tribes that inhabited this area hundreds of years ago.
