November 13, 2026 - The Shelby County Museum will have an open house to introduce the paintings of Christine Mahan on Wednesday, November 18, 2026 from 10am to 12 noon.
For more than 20 years, Christine Mahan volunteered at the Shelby County Museum helping countless families research their genealogy and proudly setting up exhibits. Genealogy was her passion and she spent decades researching and writing the history of the Warr, Fountain and McSwain families.
Art was also a passion from the time she was a teenager and her home was filled with her paintings. She was generous with her work and today her award-winning artwork is cherished in homes across Texas.
Christine passed away September 13, 2026, yet her legacy will life on through the many lives she touched as well as in her art. Come by the museum and view Christine's beautiful artwork on Wednesday, November 18 from 10am to 12 noon or during the museum's regular business hours.
The Shelby County Museum regular business hours are Monday-Friday, 1pm to 4pm and is located at 230 Pecan St, Center, TX 75935. The museum is run by volunteers who welcome you to stop by and learn more about your local history. If you have a love for history, ask any of the museum volunteers about becoming a part of the Shelby County Historical Society Museum.
The museum will be closed for the holidays.
