The Museum
Today
Today, the Museum is a multi-media learning
institution for the many visitors who travel to the El Campo Area. A
popular spot for class field trips and family outings, the Museum is
pursuing continued improvements in hopes of realizing Dr. E.A. Weinheimer's
original dream.
The El Campo Museum Society, which oversees the
operation of the Museum, is a non-profit organization funded by membership
dues, donations, grants, bi-annual fundraisers, and a percentage of the city
Hotel/Motel tax.
The Museum hosts some 5,000 visitors annually,
with 30% of them school children from a three-county area. The Museum
is supported by volunteers who average more than 2,000 hours of their time
and talent annually.
And for that reason, the Museum continues to
draw visitors from near and far to enjoy this ever-wondrous experience.

The museum is now located in the
El Campo Civic Center.
