“What is a museum but not customer service?”

This is Marty Murray’s first job as a museum curator, but he’s got lots of background in understanding museums, and has built a huge interest in history itself, and what Jackson County has to offer through the Texana Museum. Murray grew up in Lake Jackson, and said once he hit his seventh grade Texas history class, he began to realize how rich the area was with history.

“I wondered, ‘do you mean where I’ve gone fishing and hanging out has been in these places?’

From that point on it triggered me that everywhere I looked I could find something historic,” Murray said.
