History

The Milam County Historical Museum in Cameron spans a main museum building and the 1895 Milam County Jail a few blocks away. The Romanesque Revival jail was built by the Pauly Jail Building and Manufacturing Company of St. Louis, with a residence for the sheriff's family on the ground floor and cell blocks and an unused hanging tower above; it served until 1975 and reopened as a museum in 1978. Exhibits include a restored 19th-century log cabin and antique vehicles.
