  Our museum is housed in the only building in Rockwall County on the National Historic Register of Places. Once the fire station, then City Hall, next the Library, and finally the "Z" Museum, this unique brick ediface was built in 1925 to house the Masonic Hall upstairs, and be used for the Citizens of Royse City on the lower level.
 
Come see our book with information and photos on many of our older homes.
