The museum was given, with the library, to the people of Tyler County in 1966, by Governor and Mrs. Allan Shivers. The building is a Victorian house containing mementos of the governor's gubernatorial service and private life.
In 1963, the Cruse house, built in 1881, had to be removed from it's site. Governor and Mrs. Shivers bought and had it moved to the present site. They restored the building and converted it into a museum. A modern library was added and the
