Museum for East Texas Culture, Cultural museum in Palestine, Texas.
The Museum for East Texas Culture occupies a four-acre property in Reagan Park, featuring Tudor Revival and Jacobean architectural elements throughout the structure.
The building originated as Palestine High School in 1916, designed by architects Marshall Sanquinet and Carl Staats, before transforming into a museum in 1982.
