Wise History Museum

Woody cabin. May 21. 6PM.

All that rain has brought out the bluebonnets at the Wise History Museum. Come see our jewelry with real bluebonnet petals in them, our tumblers, coffee cups, coasters, trivets and counter savers. Our gift shop also offers lots of other treasures from local artists, books, jewelry, and Decatur mementos. You can also experience some local history in the Museum!
