The Bastrop County Historical Society Museum was located at
702 Main Street until 2013 and occupied the John Cornelson House built about 1850. The museum's new home is in the completely renovated former Bastrop City Hall at 904 Main Street. The
Bastrop County Museum was established in 1952. The Society began the
