The Bell Museum is located on Main Street in historic Belton, Texas. The history of the Bell County Museum can be traced back to 1899, when the Women's Wednesday Club asked for a library grant and was given $10,000 for the Belton Carnegie Library. The building was completed in 1905 and served the citizens until 1975, when another library opened nearby. The building was given to the Historical Commission. It was renovated and reopened to the public as a museum.
