When the lure of shopping has worn off, being home bound is getting old and residents and visitors alike are looking for something different to do over the holidays, a visit one of Marshall's museums might fill the bill.

From fine art to railway history and from photographs of Caddo Lake to a look at Harrison County's participation in the nation's wars, there should be something to pique the interest of a wide range of backgrounds.

Marshall is home to the Michelson Museum of Art, the Texas & Pacific Railway Museum, The Harrison County Historical Museum and the Marshall Visual Art Center.
