The Hopkins County Museum and Heritage Park is a local history museum documenting Hopkins County, Texas, located in Sulphur Springs, the county seat.[1][2][3] It is operated by the Hopkins County Historical Society.[4][5]

The Hopkins County Museum is located in the George H. Wilson house, which was built in 1910.[6] The house itself is noted for its unique architectural features, including carved columns, a roof made of pressed tin, double-bricked walls, and a Regency-style domed ceiling.[7][8] All of the building's ceilings are original except one that is from a former local opera house.[5] Its collections include Caddo artifacts, Civil War memorabilia, a doll collection, folk art, Paleolithic fossils, and period women's clothing.[6][8][9] The museum also displays a crystal chandelier from Maximilian I's palace in Mexico City. Items that it exhibits have been donated by families living in Hopkins County.[5]
