It is located on West Kaufman Street in an area of Paris known as Heritage Park, where it is situated immediately south of Heritage Hall.[1][2] The museum is operated by the Lamar County Historical Society.[3] It is open between 10 am and 4 pm on Fridays and Saturdays only, and while it does not charge an admission fee, it does accept donations.[2][3][4] The museum was the brainchild of William Hayden, a philanthropist and art aficionado from the area, and is staffed by volunteers.[7] It includes six galleries and a rural life section in addition to exhibitions.[1] The museum includes numerous historical artifacts, including a postcard display with over 200 postcards,[1][2] a shoe collection, and entire rooms dedicated to the county's African American heritage and military history as well as life in Paris before it was devastated by a major fire in 1916.[1][3] In addition to the 1916 fire, the museum also documents two other significant disasters in the city's history, an earlier fire in 1877 and a tornado in 1982.[5] Its collections cover both the distant and the more recent past, spanning from the Biard Cabin, which was built in 1846,[2] and reconstructions of a pioneer kitchen and a blacksmith shop to a Sonic Drive-In menu and a neon sign from Staples Jewelry.[2][3] Other artifacts showcased by the Lamar County Historical Museum include early 20th century furniture, antique washing machines, a loom, and various tools.[1][2] The museum also displays implements used for cotton and hay farming, relics from the Buckner Orphanage, which was demolished in 2000,[1][2] the Judge Jim Noble Thompson Portico facade,[2][4] an iron lung, and a gallery documenting Lamar County's smaller communities.[2] GalleryReferences1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{Cite news|url=http://www.countylinemagazine.com/February-2013/Paris-is-Northeast-Texas-City-of-Love/|title=Paris is Northeast Texas' City of Love|last=Geddie|first=P.
