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

Social N. • June 29, 2012It is underrated and under-talked about museum in Austin. You can learn alot of history and the surrounding environment is great.

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!

Social N. • June 30, 2012If you're on/around campus & feel like exploring, this is right in West Campus, often unnoticed. It has such a cool, diverse history in TX, from a Civil War hospital to a school for the blind & more!

Adam L. • January 26, 2013Wonderful piece of culture in downtown. Small but very rich. An easy must-see!

_ • March 4, 2016Really like the model architectures at the visitor center! There is also a gift shop if someone wants to buy a souvenir.

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

Vonia • March 14, 2015Beautiful area, overlooking The Lake Travis flowing boathouses, gardens, etcetera, offers classes; somewhat secluded.

Mark B. • September 25, 2016Very campy but cool small exhibit. Have an open mind and you'll enjoy...especially seeing the "Iceman". The last part of the tour is the best but I won't give away the surprise.

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

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!
