The…read moreChoctaws were moved from Mississippi to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears and here you can find the history and the relics. The (remains of ) 2000 year old Cypress Tree is very cool to see. Gives a bit of perspective. It's worth the stop to meet the owners and to learn about the beginning of Oklahoma as a state, and the Choctaw Indians and the history of the removal. The museum is located near the Mountain Fork River, so if you are planning a float trip, you can stop by the museum before you hit the water.

Its hard to find (your GPS may lead you to the wrong place - I updated the location on Yelp so it…read moremay lead you correctly), and if you go during the summer its going to be hot, but its worth it. I came here based on reviews on a travel site, and I'm glad I did. Although it may be hit or miss, I believe most of the time you will find a very elderly gentleman as a tour guide. Jackpot (assuming you aren't in a hurry, which you shouldn't be if you are here). He was a wealth of knowledge. This isn't a traditional museum. Its an old house, full of artifacts. Some you would expect, some you wouldn't. We started by viewing EXCEPTIONAL examples of fossils and crystals in the porch area, as shown in the pics I posted. This isn't even all of them, and the pics do not do them justice. They were museum quality specimens for sure. Inside there are signs posted everywhere not to take pics, and so I did not. As mentioned there are traditional antique items you would expect in an old home, but in our opinions, the best part was the antique guns and indian artifacts. I think that little kids would be bored and hard to control here, but older elementary age and up might really enjoy this place. I know we did!

Do you like America? Do you love freedom? Then you will absolutely love this museum!…read more My wife and snuck down to Tyler for a weekend and this was a place we wanted to see! The museum is very well presented and well kept. The artifacts on display are simply amazing! You get to walk through the hall of presidents, and then view Americas history through the cost of war. Starting with revolutionary war and the build up to it through the Afghanistan conflict. There is more to see and read than can be taken in in one visit. We spent several hours in there, and even as a bit of a history buff myself, I walked away with some new information. Highly recommended for those who have in interest in what it has cost to create, expand, and defend the principles that America offers! Well done team! Thank you, Morris'

Well, if I'm not part nerd, I probably should be. I happen to like museums. History has always be…read moreinteresting to me. Well let me tell you, this place is loaded. For such a small town, there's lots of history. Shipping was big in the area, until the railroads came along. Freighters actually loaded up in the area, and waterways led to the Red River, which led to New Orleans, which led to the ocean. Who would of thought you could take a ship from north Texas to the ocean. Amazing! This used to be the courthouse and the post office. There are 3 floors of amazing artifacts. Next door , the Railroad Society has a huge setup, but we didn't get to see it. Next time! Take the time to see the history of this area. You'll enjoy it!

The tour guides knew everything about the owners and history of the home. It gave a lot of insight on the time period when the home was build.

I was in Texarkana in December for work at the same time that we had our short government shut down…read moreso I had a day we had to kill before the defense budget was passed and we got back to work the next day. I found this house on Yelp's things to do search...it was slim pickins for sure. I rounded up four other coworkers to go as well. We couldn't take pics inside so I just have the exterior. It's been a few months so I don't totally recall the history but I think that the original owner was the only lawyer in town. His wife would fly to Neiman Marcus in Dallas twice a year to shop. The photos of the shoes that are on yelp from the business owner are just a small snapshot of all the shoes. There were so many that were cute by today's standards. I loved looking at the shoes. The house was made so that all rooms were an octagon, I think I recall the reasoning was because you get the most light that way. But again...I could be butchering this story. The house had many rooms and a lot of detail. The family donated it to the city as a museum and left a lot of the decor and just took stuff that was sentimental. I think a nephew still lives in town. The house and the grounds definitely needed TLC and preservation. But that costs money and I don't think they're raking in the dough. When we got to work the next day I told one of the dudes that lives in Texarkana that we went there and he knew all about it and mentioned the wife flying to Dallas for shopping lol. So...long story short...if you're in the area and looking for something to do I think this is a great choice. It's cute and informational and supports the community.
