We have a lot of cool and interesting things in Texas. But, did you know that the Lone Star State is the home to the only Halloween history museum in the world?

As content creators, we constantly scour the web for interesting and compelling things to share with you. As I was surfing the web recently looking for Halloween content to write about, I came across this little tidbit: not only does a Halloween history museum exist, but there's only one, and it's in Texas.

Texas Halloween Museum

Located in Smithville, Texas southeast of Austin, the Texas Halloween Museum showcases the evolution of Halloween from its origins to modern times.

You can learn about the Celtic festivals that inspired Halloween, including Samhain, a time when the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred. The museum's exhibits showcase how traditions have transformed over the centuries.

The museum offers a ton of Halloween memorabilia including vintage costumes, decorations, props from horror films, and more. In addition, you get an interactive experience with their slew of displays. They also hold special events like paranormal investigations.
