Salado Museum (Historic Site #2)

The historic Salado Museum building holds the distinction of being among the earliest structures in Salado, having accommodated a diverse range of businesses over the years. In 1959, its role evolved when it became the Central Texas Area Museum, an institution founded by Lucile A Robertson. A significant milestone emerged circa 2012, marked by the merging of the Salado College Foundation and the Central Texas Area Museum, leading to the establishment of the Salado Museum and College Park.

Presently, the Salado Museum and College Park continues its pivotal mission of commemorating the legacy of Salado and the intrepid pioneers who forged this community. It stands as a guardian of the invaluable Salado College ruins and the rich history surrounding the institution. A notable annual event hosted by the Museum is the Scottish Gathering and Highland Games, held every November. Through these endeavors and more, the museum remains dedicated to the preservation and celebration of Salado’s past, ensuring that its history endures for generations to come.
