Located inside the building that was built to serve as the county jail in the late 1800s, the Calaboose African American Museum houses a variety of letters, photos, and other artifacts that tell the story of African American life in the early days of Texas. The museum boasts a number of permanent and temporary displays, but one of the primary highlights is a collection of memorabilia that formerly belonged to jazz musician Eddie Durham.
