Great information about the local area and great personal who are helpful and nice :) A great place to visit.

Super informative and gave me knowledge of the area. Cool post office across the street too....

Free museum? Need I say more? It is small but has great displays of local history. It was also on mysteries at the museum! They always have kid activities too.

There was a wonderful lady there today that helped me and my sister find information on are moms ancestry with the Reed family. We really appreciate your help on finding what we were looking for! Thank you!

As a teacher, I would totally bring kids here. Some nice hands on interactive exhibits for kids (and adults too). Very nice to learn about the local history of Bell county, and curators are very friendly. Plus it is free!

What a great surprise! They had many toddler friendly exhibits our 2 year old love it! Highly recommend

It is such and honor to have our VISIONS Photography Exhibit displayed. Thank you very much.

This is one of the best county museums that I have ever been to. I believe it is the best representation of Bell county history along with Texas history. Anything that has happened in Bell county, is mentioned. There are many exhibits which highlight the important events of Bell county, so you are never bored reading them. I would recommend this museum to any history buff or if you are going through the town and need a break, stop here to learn an interesting fact about Bell County!

Im new to the area and this was my first visit. Cant wait to see how the renovations turn out. My 6 year old and I loved the museum. Tons of interactives for her and lots of interesting stories for me. We go to a lot of museums and this impressed me. I cant wait to support this museum in the years to come and watch it continue to grow.The museum also has lots of great events coming up that they told us about. The staff were great and supper friendly. We will be comming back for years to come.

Awesome place. Unbelievable how much history a small town can play into a country’s history. Great learning experience

My family and I have been coming here for years the traveling exhibits are amazing! And my kids love going through and learning about Bell county. It is amazing even all these times later they always find something we missed. Their staff it too notch, and always there if you have any questions!

She had fun at Weird Science. The museum was nice to walk through. Would definitely suggest it to anyone who hasnt been.

Went to a musical (free) nice time and it lasted only two hours. Lots of people from the community came out. A singer from the Duncan Family was on program

My 5 year old was entertained and we learned a lot about Bell county! Lots of cool relics from the past!! For $0...it was an afternoon well spent and well definately go again!

What a wonderful surprise. A former Carnegie Library this little museum has some really nice local and state history. Wont take long to visit but well worth the stop.

Great place for everyone to have fun and learn new things about local history .

Nice place the person running it the day we went was very knowledgeable and very helpful and super nice too.

Outstanding museum, they always try to cater to the whole family instead of always having exhibits for the history buff.

Loved the displays and especially the Christmas toys through the ages one i saw when there during the Native American event they had

I love the friendly staff and the always changing exhibits!! Also there is a gift shop!! And admission is free! You really cant go wrong. This museum is small in scale but represents Belton, Temple and Texas history !

Really cool local museum. Learned a lot about Belton and its history. Ever since moving to Texas Ive wanted to do a deep dive into the history of the Hill Country area, so if you want heres a nice place to start.

Love the history but had grandson with me so will have to return to read everything.

Great displays. Every 3rd Saturday of the month they have displays and activities for the kids free of charge. My 5yr old loved it.

Nice! Very informative! Enjoyed our visit. Thanks.

Super friendly staff, especially since we walked in so close to closing time. We LOVED the Rolling Stone Magazine exhibit, and the local history was charmingly displayed.

It is really lovely in there I been in this area for years and never knew bout this place always pass it up

Great exposition of local history, including archaeological info on prehistoric Texas and the story of the Sanctified Sisters. More exhibits coming soon!

Nice exhibits, dia de los Muertos was very good.

Super cute museum. Loved seeing the mustache tea cups!

Great museum with great people. Steven was very informative and extremely helpful. Have no complaints about this museum at all. It was clean, well maintained, and just plain fascinating.

Many interesting items on display. Small enough to not be overwhelming.

Great museum and store. Friendly and very informed staff providing great insight about the building and the exhibits!

Awesome place and its run on donations. Dont forget to drop some cash in the box!!

Awesome event I ever been, and I recommend you folks to take your children out there.

I love the Bell County Museum. It is small, but packed with so much historical information. It has a permanent exhibit, but also has a temporary one that changes every so often. It offers lots of free or inexpensive programs throughout the year. Did I mention that the museum is free??? This is a must to visit!

My daughter loves it and we love the kid friendly activities.

Cute museum. We went for their cinco de mayo celebration. It was free and the kids loved it. The dancers did amazing and we all had a great time.

Steven was awesome, very knowledgeable. We walked in 5 minutes before closing and he was still so warm and welcoming! Fun and educational! Must stop while in Belton, TX!

My nephew, Koury Angelo, just spoke at this wonderful museum.......great place with warm and friendly people working there........he also did a great job I have to say!.....lol

Brought the family here on in a weekday. The gentleman who greeted us was very nice and knowledgeable with the history. He went out of his way to educate the kids about some of the tools that were used. The place is very nice and kept up with. I would definitely recommend this museum to others and will come back to visit.

Very nice place and people my daughter even got free arrow heads before we left .

Kid friendly took all the summer camp kids and they loved it

A great free museum. Beautiful collections, a must see in the town. The old settlers house is also very nice.

The curator was very nice and friendly, and there were several stations that were very hands on for the kids. I wish they would have had the I-spy at the front entrance, as that is something my grandsons enjoy doing. Also, the 2nd floor was closed for an event, but that only allows us to return and explore some more.

Staff was very helpful and friendly lots of good are items in the museum very well displayed and easy to understand and follow

This little museum is great! Steve was knowledgeable and entertaining. The Mustache Teacup Collection was my favorite but you can tell all the exhibits were created with real TLC. This is a must stop if you are in the area. You wont be disappointed!

If you live in the area or just passing through you should check it out its a really neat place!

We come here all the time. Great expos and interactive games for the children.

We were looking for things to do while In the area and a friend suggested stopping here. They have a very interesting display of the Gault site, tracing back artifacts into prehistoric days. This museum was a great find and we really enjoyed it. Clean, friendly atmosphere.

Nice to see local history

A very nice museum for the size of the town...great history and artifacts... and its free...a great stop before visiting Millers Smokehouse...

We are new to Bell County and we just found the Bell County Museum. I’ve lived in small and large towns and I’ve never seen a museum engage a community better than this one. Last night we attended the haunted night at the museum and there was a line around the block of parents and children waiting to get into the museum. Once in, my kids were engaged by multiple volunteers dressed up as different historical figures, Darth Vader, a long horn. My kids left smiling and loving their museum. My husband and I will be back to see the beautifully curated collection. Well done!

I have a close personal and professional attachment to this amazing museum. They sponsor and showcase incredible collections based on themes. This month (July 2017) they are presenting a collection called From Swords to Plowshares: Metal Trench Art From World War I. A must see for the art and war history enthusiast. Also check out their permanent exhibit about the world famous Gault archaeological site. Admission is free, they accept donations, plenty of parking.

Love the history, the food was great and view of Nolan creek made it all that more wonderful. One of my new favorite spots.

Love the activities they have for the kids and it was interesting to see what was in there.

A very good museum about Bell County history. Well run, with knowledgeable and friendly staff.

I took my nieces here and they had a good time. Everyone was very nice and it was free!!

Had lots of fun.

Nice little museum and best part is it is free....

They always have fun activities for the kids. Katie is awesome and makes it fun for the kids! Lot of cool history from Bell County worth checking out.

Awesome place. Going back when we have more time to spend.

Love this place. They really keep up with new displays and lots of events for families.

Everyone must visit it atleast once in their life. Very informative and well kept.

Wonderful experience for the Halloween event. Staff was nice well organized neat building. We had a wonderful time! And 2 pokestops :)

Awesome exhibits and set up to walk through.

I took my grandsons to Bell County Museums but they were bored. Do something for kids... Good for Adults to go there.

Interesting, informative display.

Good place but they need to do something for kids to make them interesting..

Cool place really nice staff

Interesting exhibits. Excellent local museum. Lovely gift shop.

Its an older museum. Not a lot to see. I think older adults will appreciate it.

Great place for the whole family.

My grandfather John Henry Dickerson s army jacket and his portrait. Thank you bell county museum for preserving these and sharing history

Worst part of bell county . should be closed and the funding for this so called musem should be deverted to a more deserving entity. Never hardly open and not worth the effort !!!!

Nice place to go especially is the weather is bad and you want something to do

Located in the old library, this musium has a large range on interesting exhibits related to Bell County. Kid friendly, with lots of interesting ways for them to interact with history.

They are family activities and all kinds of things to do.

Great small museum featuring local and Texas history.

Such a great jewel to have in a small community like ours. Really good way they rotate exhibits.

Beautiful and historic

Very interesting history on Texas

Very informative.

Surprisingly large, includes local history and rotating exhibits. Staff is knowledgable and friendly.

Great local history.

All the employees are very kind, the museum itself is quite interesting.

Good museum for Temple/Belton area. Exhibits vary. My recent favorite was the Frida Kahlo exhibit. I went multiple times and kept inviting friends. In 2014 they had a great kids day for Dia de los muertos but it was missing for 2015. Hope they bring it back.

So many amazing things to see.

I love to visit this museum every year!

Best museum in the area.
