The Palace Theatre in the historic downtown district is home to a year-round season of live theater productions including musicals, comedies, and dramas. This former movie house was renovated and in 2001 opened as a live theater venue.

The Museum is a 501 (c) (3), non-profit organization that was established in 1997 to collect and interpret items that promote the unique culture and heritage of Williamson County. The museum provides free educational programming, exhibits and events to the public including the Up the Chisholm Trail cattle drive and chuck wagon cook-off each September. Housed in the recently renovated Farmers State Bank Building (1911), the Museum offers visitors a fascinating glimpse of the past through professional exhibits and innovative hands-on programs.

Visible for miles around, the imposing beautiful neoclassical structure is the focal point of the central business district and the fifth structure to serve as a county courthouse. Austin architect C.H. Page designed the building, projecting porticoes supported by Ionic columns, and classic pediment and balustrade detailing. The $9 million courthouse restoration was successfully completed in 2007 through a joint effort of Williamson County and the Texas Historical Commission, returning the structure to its original splendor. The pediments and balustrade were removed in 1965. The Williamson Museum conducts free guided tours of the courthouse by appointment.  For tour information:
