Today is the day!! Our gallery is reopening with new exhibits! 🎉

The Cedar Hill Museum of History is proud to present Early Settlement (1846-1869) and Becoming Cedar Hill (1870-1899).

We welcome you back into our gallery to immerse yourself in pioneer stories told directly from the perspective of those who settled the region and learn how their legacy grew to influence what we have today.
