The Historical Ralls Museum was opened in 1966 under the direction of Pauline and Walker Watkins. Pauline was a niece to JR Ralls and had a passion for preserving the City of Ralls and The Ralls family's history. The museum contains many artifacts including a Solid Silver Saddle, Indian artifacts, Early settler household and farm items and a inaugural ball gown. The Ralls Museum was originally a bank built by JR Ralls. The museum is currently under the direction of Donna Harris.
