This is truly a very neat museum. It's not overly big, but has some great memorabilia in it. Take the time and go check it out!

I have just read three reviews on this site and it is difficult to add very much more as they were all very good reviews. This museum is actually two museums in one. Audie Murphy was the most decorated of the many brave men who answered the call in WW ll. Audie was born and raised in Hunt Country Texas a major cotton growing area in Texas. Cotton was an extremely important crop in the USA and it can be said that without cotton we might well have not had the Civil War. The people of Hunt Country have this museum has a forum to inform visitor's to the museum as to how this raw product was processed and transported to market around the globe.Hunt County is rightfully proud of its most famous native born son. A previous review points out that the Hall of Fame depicts the life of the heroic Audie Murphy as well as the many brave men and women who served their country so well. Audie Murphy is of course highlighted as are many of the specific battle deeds that saved the lives of many of his fellow soldiers.A previous review made mention of an old house on the property that was locked and closed to visitors. For security reasons it is locked but it is opened by request for any visitor.This is a small but very interesting and important facility. It would get many many more visitors if it was either moved to the nearby town of Greenville or as a second choice much better signed as it can be a struggle to locate depending on the direction you are traveling. Should you decide to visit and get a little frustrated stick with it and take the time you will be pleased that you did. You will also soon realize that you do honor to those who have given us so much.A GPS will help.

When we saw the size of the building we thought we'd be there just a short time. Instead we stayed almost three hours.The first part of the museum explains the cotton growing in the local area, especially as it was in the past. They have a number of actual implements that were used and some scale models showed how ginning, etc., were done. Lots of old photos. Very interesting.Further into the museum is the Audie Murphy section, with photos and explanations that follow him through his life and make some connections to the previously mentioned cotton growing. We knew almost nothing about Audie Murphy previously, so this provided a full impression of who this hero was. A short film summarizes it. A small part of this section also connects to later wars.The staff was friendly and helpful, recommending places to eat, etc.Because we visited off-season, hardly anyone else was in the museum. This was a good time to be there.

The museum began with the story of cotton crops in Greenville. It was quite interesting to see the process that cotton goes through from harvesting to clothing. Past the cotton display was the Hall of Fame that depicted the life of Audie Leon Murphy. There was also tribute to all the men and women who have served in the military and a comprehensive overview of each war from World War I to Vietnam. There was a large statue out front worth looking at. A very old house sat on the property but it was locked to visitors. There was also an old log cabin in pieces that was moved from another site that will be rebuilt here.

It was really great to see and here of the amazing things that Audie Murphy did before his plane crash. Did not know he was married twice or that he wrote 17 country hits. Great collection of guns from historic past. When we came through in July the Family had sent additionally memorbila there for the fans. Reviewing the Cotton museum was something else also did not know what all was used/created from cotton.

This museum is very well done. We learned a lot about the cotton trade in Texas. We really enjoyed the Audie Murphy memorabilia also.We saw the the signs by chance as we were traveling thru Greenville. It was worth the time and the $6.00!

We enjoyed this small museum very much. The cotton information was an added bonus as we came to visit Audie. He has an amazing story that I certainly did not know. He deserves our attention. I do encourage everyone to support this museum. I will mention that the historical markers on highway 69 could be improved. Very hard to stop at, we managed 2 out of the 4 mentioned. Enjoy the museum

My husband and I visited the Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum and really enjoyed our visit. The first part of the museum covers the cotton industry of north-east Texas. Picking cotton was a part of young Audie's life, as well as a significant part of life in this region of the state, so this area of the museum was more interesting than I thought would be. The portion dedicated to Audie Murphy was outstanding.It contained so many of his personal items, as well as items from both world wars. You'll learn some incredible things about this young soldier, who was the most decorated soldier in World War II.If you have an interest in Texas history, Hollywood history or World War II, be sure to pay a visit to this fascinating museum.

We thoroughly enjoyed this museum. The staff was awesome and enthusiastic and engaging. After seeing the large WWII museum in New Orleans, I of course had adjusted my expectations accordingly. But there were many parts of this small museum that I enjoyed so much more. They have done a tremendous job with displays and information. It was an hour and 1/2 that I am really glad we spent, and I learned a lot.

The museum is well laid out and has many interesting exhibits. My son my grand-kids enjoyed the visit. Both parts (Audie Murphy / Cotton) were interesting.
