History of Cotton Exhibit
Discover the days of a bygone era when cotton was a part of everyday life in Hunt County. Greenville was home to the world’s largest inland cotton compress, which set a world record both in 1911 and 1912. Imagine in just one 10 hour work day being able to compress 2,073 bales of cotton! The engine of the compress is on display at the Museum.
Hunt County War Memorial
A ten foot bronze statue of Audie Murphy sculpted by Greenville artist Gordon Thomas stands vigil over the war memorial that was dedicated in 2004 to honor the memory of the 271 soldiers of Hunt County who gave their lives to protect and defend the United States in times of war during the 20th Century. As Audie Murphy once stated “The true heroes, the real heroes, are the boys who fought and died, and never will come home.”
