Welcome...

Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. . .
 was initiated in 1998 to celebrate the contributions of Texans to the country music profession. The project highlights those individuals, living or dead, who are recognized nationally as outstanding in their field. The impressive structure encompasses 13,000 square feet of space for exhibits, a gift shop and a large banquet room. The facility can accommodate groups of 300 for lecture-type seating or more than 200 for catered dinners. With soaring ceilings, state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems and a commercial kitchen, the Hall of Fame provides unparalleled meeting space for local groups needing space for banquets and other activities.

Tex Ritter Museum. . .
was opened on the upper floor of the Hawthorn-Clabaugh-Patterson House on October 18, 1992. Memorabilia was received from Ritter's family in California, and after hours of cleaning and cataloging the items by volunteers, the museum became a reality. With the opening of the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame, the Museum was moved to the new location in August, 2003.
