The Texas Prison Museum will be closed all day Thursday, September 24, 2026, in memory of our dear friend and colleague Mr. James (Jim) Willett. Jim was a former Director of the Texas Prison Museum.

The museum will return to regular business hours on Friday September 25, 2026. 

The Texas Prison Museum offers an intriguing glimpse into the lives of the state's imprisoned citizens. The museum features numerous exhibits detailing the history of the Texas prison system, featuring a look inside the operations behind the fences and walls.
