My husband was keen to see the model railways so we popped in for a visit. It's a very small museum with three or four small rooms and a couple of train carriages outside. It's free to visit but they encourage a donation of $3 per person. What it lacks in size it makes up in character. Staff are very friendly and the whole place is quirkily lovable. There were two working model railways, one of them enormous and including a tiny replica of a portion of New Braunfels high street. In addition there were vintage suitcases, signage and the like. Outside you could visit the inside of an old-fashioned dining car and the inside of an old caboose, both very interesting to see. Very enjoyable little place! Worth the visit.See more..
We've been coming to New Braunfels for over 40 years and had never been here. Try to go on "Second Saturday"!! The house with no nails and vintage furniture and the surrounding out-buildings are really cool, but the best experience was by chance we attended on the 2nd Saturday of September. Every 2nd Saturday the area's living historians take over the out-buildings with demonstrations of life back then. Awesome experience for both adults and kids!See more..
