This fascinating museum houses the authentic re-creation of oil discovery and production in the early 1930s from the largest oil field inside U.S. boundaries.

El Campo Museum of Natural History
El Campo, Texas

Children's, History, Natural History

The El Campo Museum of Natural History began as a storage site for Dr. E. A. Weinheimer to store his collection of trophies. Since the beginning in 1978 to the present, the El Campo Museum has become a major tourist attraction for those who travel to our area. Within the past twenty years, the Museum has changed its name, mission statement, vision, and location. What once began as a tourist stie inside the Chamber of Commerce has now become an ever-wondrous experience.

The glue that keeps us together and has helped us become successful in reaching our audience is the Board of Directors. The Board is known to be a "working Board" because they are the people who make sure that projects are done, fund-raisers are held, and the Museum's policies are enfoced and regulated.
