The Columbia Historical Museum in West Columbia, TX showcases the rich heritage of the First Capital of the Republic of Texas, offering exhibits and artifacts that narrate the story of Texas' independence and early foundations. Housed in a 1950s bank building, the museum invites visitors to explore the vault of Texas history with knowledgeable docents.
One of the museum's unique features is the preservation of the Columbia Rosenwald School, a one-room schoolhouse that served African-American students from 1921-1948. Rescued from its previous life as a hay barn, the school has been restored and now stands as an interpretive center, providing insights into the history of Rosenwald schools and the Columbia community's educational heritage.
