Baytown Historical Museum

The Baytown Historical Museum is located in the old Baytown Post Office at 220 West Defee. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The origin of the museum dates back to May 14, 1970, when the City of Baytown formed a historical committee to look into establishing a historical museum in Baytown. This led to the creation of a Museum Advisory Board in 1971. Over the next several years, the board members worked diligently to find a home for the museum, without much luck.
