The Brenham Heritage Museum is a local history museum in downtown Brenham, Texas located in the former US Post Office-Federal Building-Brenham listed on the National Register of Historic Places building.[2] The museum is operated by the Brenham Heritage Museum Board of Directors, and staff members. The museum operates a second site, the Bus Depot Gallery, in the Art-Deco Kerrville Bus Lines Depot of Brenham.
In 1991, the City of Brenham offered the former U.S. Post Office-Federal Building for use as a museum. A non-profit was established, collections were acquired, funds were raised and the museum opened soon after.
