Sabine County Courthouse
Located in the county seat of Hemphill. The Courthouse was completed around 1910 and is one of East Texas' best-known landmarks. It has been restored and the old curved original steps on the North side have been rebuilt. A new addition is the seal in the tile on the second floor. It has special significance for both Sabine County and Texas history.

You can view the rope used in one of the hangings and the trap door. The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
