Grace Armantrout was born on March 28, 1902, in Indiana. In 1920 she moved to Live Oak County. When Miss Grace died in 1990, she left a charitable trust for the construction of the present museum. On display is furniture dated 1860-1940, antique firearms, seashells from around the world, interesting rocks, beautiful fine china and glassware, many art objects, paintings, books, a collection of smoking pipes and eye glasses, old records, antique farm and ranch equipment, historical documents, house wares, hand sewn quilts, and clothing.
One of her last collections was something that she had always wanted, a train caboose. It now sits for viewing beside the museum.
