After almost 20 years of showcasing Rusk County history, the Gaston Museum board has decided to close the facility, citing a lack of funding and manpower.

The museum has played host to curated exhibits depicting life during the East Texas oil boom and the history of wealth and success that followed. That influx of money funded the Gaston School, which held records as the largest rural school in the world with more than 1,800 students enrolled before it merged with New London in 1965 to form West Rusk Consolidated ISD.
