Graham’s Old Post Office Museum & Art Center is a heritage traveler’s delight. The Museum houses permanent exhibits of Young County history, including the history and artifacts from its Post Office days! The gallery rotates out exhibits ranging from art to local history to traveling exhibitions designed for families! The Museum building is a work of art and history as well, built in the 1930’s to house Graham’s post office. The building’s architecture represents a fine example of Art Moderne, the style of the period during the Great Depression. Completed in 1936, the one-and-a-half story building was constructed of buff brick accented with a cast-stone frieze and cornice and capped with a flat roof, helping to define its cube-like mass. The exterior exhibits classic Art Moderne elements including a carved frieze featuring a geometrical zigzag pattern, decorative lighting fixtures, and ornamental grillwork. Inside, a mural by Texas regionalist Alexandre Hogue, courtesy of the New Deal, depicts elements of the city’s history. The building has seen few changes over time and remains much the same as it was when first built, thus maintaining a high degree of architectural and artistic integrity.
