Reviews
"Nice museum dedicated to Vp during depression under FDR"
"Very nice place. Super friendly staff. The lady there was very kind and helpful. Lots of interesting history. Good place to check out if you enjoy history"
"First floor focuses on Garner. Second focuses on Briscoe. Very interesting and fun to see for anyone interested in Texas history. Highly recommend."
"Visited this small museum to in a whim and actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I took my children, 11 and 6, and both enjoyed it. My oldest and me were intrigued with the rich history of two very prominent figures in the state of Texas. My youngest loved the information system videos and the historical articles that were present. This is a great stop if driving through the city of Uvalde, Tx. I was unaware that two very prominent figures in Texas politics lived in this small but amazing town. It is free, but do take donations, and can be completed quickly in about an hour. Im giving it 4 stars because we arrived a bit later in the day and didn't get to do the entire experience, it is a walk and read on your own."
