Sharick C. • December 31, 2015Very touching and informative Museum. Has a beautiful section dedicated to the Juneteenth Commemoration.

Jessica J. • July 6, 2018A very charming (and free) museum right in the heart of downtown. The staff is very knowledgeable and can answer any and all questions about O Henry!

ActiveCultures • March 18, 2010The lawn stage vibe is lovely, but the tent on the Hill stage is already getting crowded.

Yani I. • March 1, 2014Not a history buff but I learned a lot about the survivors of the Alamo & about the Alamo itself! If you're just not into that than play International Home Hunters & compare with O'Henry's #ynottravel

Vonia • June 13, 2014Free, unique, worth a look...

Jason H. • February 13, 2013Help save the Dino Tracks! The museum is trying to raise funds to save them. The building they are in is unstable and it is leading to their deterioration!

Andre R. • June 2, 2011Take the tours! You get to experience old style Texas and old agriculture. You also get to see what's inside the old homestead.

HISTORY • April 7, 2010Austin’s best tour with 75 minutes of sightseeing that includes Historic Sixth Street, the State Capitol Building, Bob Bullock State History Museum, the Governor’s Mansion, and Lake Austin.
