Totally worth going, they’ve done a great job with it.

Darren Thompson

Was here for the presentation of WW1 era history and was impressed. One of the volunteers talked to us for an hour giving all sorts of neat McKinney history we would never had imagined. Will be returning periodically.

Small place, but all the exhibits were interesting. Nice pace to stop if you're Downton and enjoy history.

Charity Morgan

Really nice little museum. The older man working there was sweet. He explained things well and gave us a calendar. Worth going to for a short Museum visit.

The real thing

I was thoroughly impressed with this place. It is located in an impressive Old Post Office Building, and Chronicles the contribution of Collin County to World Wars 1 & 2. So many pictures and personal items are available for perusal. A lot of interactive material is available on iPads that you can carry through the exhibit. It gives a very clear picture of what it must have been like, as well as serving as a beautiful Memorial to these brave men and women and the families that they left behind.

What a nice surprise to find the Collin County History Museum! The Then & Now exhibit is extremely well curated - the technology used to tour the museum is very impressive! We were warmly greeted upon arrival and, when we were ready to leave, had a great conversation with a staff (volunteer?) about museums related events.

Excellent historical museum with very nice and informative employees.

The museum itself is a treasure to the city. It was put together, educational, and an interactive experience. HOWEVER, the behavior from one of the employees/volunteers was baffling, uncalled for, and hostile at the LEAST. Becca was pleasant at the beginning, but quickly expressed her utter immaturity when I innocently opened a door in the downstairs area, noting there was no signage that said “employees only”, “do not enter”, etc. It looked just as rustic as the rest of the museum, but she commented with a very sarcastic, agitated tone, “You know, if doors are closed, it probably means you shouldn’t open them”, directly quoted. I was baffled, and quite frankly did not know what to reply. If that was the proper logic, our tour group wouldn’t have wound up in the basement anyway, which WAS perfectly fine to access, because the door to the basement was closed, too! Also, plenty of other doors on the premises had clearly indicated signs that denied access. I was going to donate, but due to her attitude, I did not, and not I, nor my peers, will be returning.

Great hidden gem in Mckinney! A must see when you visit downtown.

Great museum with informative exhibits about Collin County History. Wonderful historic 1911 Post Office building rich in history.

Glenda Francis

Very interesting. Thomas was extremely informative and i learned way more than was expected. Even the basement was an experience. The structure is so old that there is a boiler in the basement that looks like u r in the bottom of the Titanic. Will definitely recommend n will visit again.

Kyle Roberts

This is a most outstanding venue to understand the blessing of living in McKinney and the Collin County area. I think it should be visited by everyone now enjoying the benefits of living in such a successful and safe area. Go by and learn about those who came before us and made today possible. You might recognize some of the place names you see, now. The displays change so one visit might not be enough.

Caleb Rankin

Fantastic small museum. They have done a good job.

Harold Dowell

An excellent display of Mckinney's history and the people who made it the city it is today.

Nina Dowell

The current Vietnam Exhibit is amazing! Vietnam Veterans are even volunteering as docents.

Benjamin Lorenz

Lovely place. Its free, and it has lots of history applied to it

VicToria Freudiger

This is a quality place to learn about the history of Collin County past residents. You will also find war memorabilia from WWI and Vietnam.

La Nance

New virtual reality addition to the exhibit is great!
