Midland County Historical Museum

Exhibits include early Midland history; pioneer relics; photos; mementos of the Civil War, World Wars I and II; and Native American artifacts. One of the most popular exhibits is the reproduction of “ Midland Man.” The fossil remains (including a skull, rib and hand bones) were discovered  south of Midland on the Scharbauer Ranch in 1953, and proved human life existed in the Midland area as long ago as 9000-9500 B.C. The museum is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 2 - 5 p.m.
