What the Humble Museum covers
The Humble Museum documents the history and culture of Humble and the surrounding area through collected stories, photographs and artifacts. Its subjects include oil, cattle, lumber, churches and everyday life, offering a local perspective on how the area developed.
The Humble Museum Society began in 1976. The Humble Bicentennial Museum opened in 1977 as an outgrowth of the city’s U.S. Bicentennial celebrations. The collection later moved into its current building in March 2020, which opened to the public on November 14, 2020.
Not everything in the collection is displayed at once. Objects are periodically rotated onto display, while other items may remain in storage, so a visit may show only part of the collection.
