Admission is free however donations are appreciated. Parking is available in the rear of the building. Group tours are available by request.
The building was constructed in 1937 and is an excellent example of a Depression Era postal facility. The City of Mineola purchased the building in 1998 for the purpose of creating a history museum and it received its Texas Historical Marker in 1999.
Mayor Celia Boswell founded the Mineola Historical Museum Board of Directors in 1998. Their stated purpose was to preserve the natural, historical, economic and cultural heritage of the area and eventually create public exhibits that would serve to increase understanding and appreciation of the diverse segments which have contributed to Mineola's unique heritage.
