Mission Statement :

The Texarkana Museums System (TMS) is a-not-for-profit educational organization that offers high-quality learning experiences focusing on history, science, art, and music.

TMS is committed to the collection and conservation of materials relating to the human occupation of the region, to the preservation of the buildings it holds in trust for the people of the Four States Area, and to the enhancement of cultural opportunities and quality of life for all its residents. TMS is committed to maintaining professional and ethical excellence in all its operations and adheres to the standards set forth by the American Association of Museums.

A group of local citizens established the Texarkana Historical Society in 1966.  In an effort to preserve Texarkana’s unique history, the group began collecting  archival materials. In 1971, the Society opened the Texarkana Historical Museum, now the Museum of Regional History. The new Museum was opened in the historic Offenhauser Insurance building, the oldest surviving brick building in Texarkana. 

The collections expanded to include regional and Caddo artifacts and information. The Museum of Regional History includes a vast collection of research materials and photographs available to the public by appointment.
