The Brazoria County Historical Museum is housed in the 1897 Brazoria County Courthouse. In the late 1970s, the courthouse was slated for destruction. With widespread community support, the Brazoria County Historical Commission petitioned the Commissioners Court to save the structure and utilize it as a museum. On March 26, 1979, County Judge E.E. Brewer signed an agreement with the Commission, leasing the courthouse to the Commission for 100 years. Its terms required the Commission to renovate the facility without county funding and open it to the public within two years. The lease was later assigned to the Brazoria County Historical Museum, Inc., a not-for profit corporation. The move was made to improve the museum's fund-raising capabilities.
