Very interesting if your in to history.
A small museum that's well planned and presented. An honest telling of how the Kenedy and King families made their fortunes and inhabited the area. A must do when visiting the area!
Very fascinating and well presented story of the King & Kenedy families and south Texas. Small, three room museum but gives great background and details on the regional and family histories from the 1850’s on. Presentation is mainly on signs with pictures and stories told on each subject. Large wall dioramas without any supporting details - which would have been very helpful. You can also walk around the yard outside and read a few signs. We found the stories fascinating and were very impressed. Took us about 1 hour, 20 minutes to visit.
Nice museum, hand held media talks a visitor thru the 3 room museum...takes 1.5 hrs....
Wow! What an unexpected delight. I drove through town to see the courthouse, and this museum caught my eye. Gorgeous building, and the displays are amazing. There aren't too many actual artifacts, but there are murals/paintings covering the walls in three downstairs rooms. You pick up a handheld audio player from the front desk, and type in the number under the piece of mural you want to learn about. A brilliant way of telling the story without having you read panel after panel after panel. The narrator had an engaging voice, and the information he was presenting was very interesting. I couldn't stay as long as I wanted, but for the low entry price, I'll be back to learn the rest of the Kenedy tale!
