The Texas Maritime Museum, located in Rockport, Texas, focuses on preserving and presenting Texas maritime history through artifacts, exhibits, and educational programs. It originated as a community project in the mid-1970s and developed into the Texas Maritime Museum Association, which was formed in 1980; the museum opened in 1989 after construction began in 1988. The institution has earned accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums (2005, reaccreditation in 2020), and its Maritime Collections and Education Center expanded the facility in the early 2010s. The museum serves as a cultural resource for residents and visitors, offering a growing collection, special exhibits, school programs, and public events tied to maritime heritage. In 2026 it launched Painting History, a guided plein air art program that connects participants with the region's coastal environment and maritime history, reflecting ongoing program development. Based in Rockport, Texas, it maintains a small staff to support its operations.
