The Old County Jail was built in 1891 by the Pauley Jail Co. Living quarters for the deputy and family were on the first floor and the second floor contains the cells for prisoners.

The first prisoner was outlaw John Denson, a cousin of John Wesley Hardin.

A Veteran's display was added in the two bedrooms downstairs with lots of memorabilia from Sutton County veterans as well as their pictures and what branch of the military they served in.

The Ice House Museum was built in 1927. They made ice here in 300 pound blocks and would deliver to your home.

Meat processing and bar-b-que were added later.

The Sutton County Historical Society acquired the building in 2005 and it was opened in 2008 as a museum. Lots of history and interesting memorabilia about the founding families of Sonora and local history.

Wed - Fri: 1PM – 5PM Saturday: 10AM – 5PM

The Miers Home Museum was built in 1889 by Isaac and Victoria Miers. They were sheep ranchers who came to Sutton County in the late 1800's. It was the 5th house built in Sonora and features artifacts and memorabilia about the pioneer heritage of the community of Sonora.

The Old Train Depot was built in 1930. When the train no longer ran to Sonora the tracks were taken up and the building was purchased by Sutton County residents and the Cauthorn Trust. The building was given to the Sut ton County Historical Society and moved to its present location behind the Miers Home Museum. An amphitheater was built in the back of the building.

The building is rented out for parties, weddings, meetings, etc.

Old Ice House Ranch Museum Our Exhibits feature a wide and wonderful array of historical artifacts to educate and entertain visitors about area ranching in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Delightfully paired with heritage exhibits, you’ll find a special exhibit discussing Will Carver - a member of the infamous “Wild Bunch” gang that met his fate on the streets of Sonora. Visitors will leave with a new appreciation for the pioneers that developed this rugged area of Texas following the discovery of a deep water well.

Learn how the discovery of the well opened this parched prairie to sheep, cattle and goats long after the bustle of the West had passed it by.
