About us:
Since 1957, the Collin County Historical Society has been dedicated to preserving and collecting items related to North Texas history. In 1982, CCHS was able to expand its scope and began exhibiting North Texas history in its newly acquired museum. Today, the North Texas History Center shares local history with students from across North Texas, and with visitors from around the world. Through its thoughtfully created interpretive exhibits, NTHC is fulfilling its goal to share history and help visitors of all ages make meaningful connections between the past and present. NTHC, located at 300 E. Virginia just east of the square in downtown McKinney, is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday thru Saturday.
