"Dedicated in 1977, this downtown museum highlights the history of the county from primitive, prehistoric times through the heyday of oil and gas exploration, through current post-boomtown life. The museum’s main building is a 1927 storefront; additional exhibits are housed in adjacent buildings. - Texas Plains Trail
AND
The building it is housed in explained by Texas Historical Commission with a marker
"After the discovery of oil in this area, Borger developed as a townsite in 1926. Gus (1895-1971) and John Yiantsou (1881-1948), Greek immigrants, came here from St. Louis and opened a restaurant. Gus bought this property and in 1927 erected this building, one of the first large structures in the booming town. The brothers opened Grand Hardware and Variety Store on the first floor in 1929. The second floor served as a hotel. After John's death, Gus leased the facility. The Yiantsous generously supported many local and Greek charities." ~ Texas Historical Commission 1979
