The Texas City Museum is Awesome

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Address:  409 6th St. North, Texas City, TX 77590

The Texas City Museum is awesome. The kids I took with me are a little silly… but the museum is awesome.

Just look at the picture. There is a cool kids room around the corner, but they are determined to stick their heads in the cannon.

At this small museum, you can learn a whole lot about Texas City and a lot about the 1947 disaster. Watch the 3 short movies on the first floor and you get a great history lesson (even if you tour with the kind of kids that put their heads in cannons).

Stop to read about the artifacts and you will learn even more. And, of course, swing by the interactive kids room!

On Saturdays, you can see the The Galveston County Model Railroad Club Exhibit that is very very well done. (In 11 years of motherhood I’ve seen a lot of model train displays… and this might be the best.)

Learn even more in our last post HERE… and after you go to the museum, eat next door at the Downtown Bar and Grill and then swing by the Texas City Dike for shell collecting!

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
