Polk County Memorial Museum

 Texas has 199 counties named after notable men, six after presidents, the category that James K. Polk fits in. No explanation is given for the name but Polk's picture does get a prominent spot right inside the front entrance. Exhibits touch on all the major historic events in the county. An annex features store front displays and models of historic buildings. 

The museum is not accessible due to steps. The interior is a bit cramped and some wheelchair users will find it difficult to see all of the exhibits. An accessible entrance is in future plans. 

 Parking is on the street. An enlarged parking area beside the museum is also in future plans. Museum  30.71014, -94.93686
