Absolutely Outstanding!

In 1965, State Representative Gus Mutscher introduced a bill for construction of a “Worthy Museum, at the Birthplace of Texas that would be a Star upon a Star.” It is the only museum created by the Legislature for the purpose of interpreting the Republic period of Texas history.

    History is packed into a small building. There is much more in the building than you might expect from outside so do go into the building. The museum has history exhibits from before through Texas Independence. Exhibits show what life was like during the Texas Republic. We saw some items in the exhibits we have not seen in other museums.

    This museum has so much history, information, and artifacts. We arrived right before they closed and had about an hour in the museum. It is not enough time to explore and really appreciate the two story building. There is so much to see and read. We could have used at least another hour. You can also go outside and oversee the property. We didn’t have time to do that during our visit. Definitely will be back the next time we go through here to be able to truly appreciate it and not be rushed.
