School tour season has been a blast so far! We've had so many wonderful, curious, and excited kiddos come through the museum this spring! There are just a few dates open in late May, but don't let that stop your group from visiting during the summer or booking for fall ahead of time! School or student group tours are usually $2.50 per student and can be booked Tuesdays through Saturdays 9am-3pm.
Contact: [email protected] or 361-582-2559 for more information.

Claude Koontz gave an outstanding presentation at tonight’s Cowboy Way event, the second in the series. The sold out crowd listened to stories about the legendary HK Ranch, the family’s lineage from Keeran and Koontz pioneer ranching families, and heard recordings of Henry Clay Koontz discussing the Brahman bull “Millionaire.” We appreciate everyone who attended!

Looking for something uniquely local? 👀 Come check out local authors right here at the museum! From regional history to children’s books and everything in between, these are stories you won’t find just anywhere.

Even better—museum members get exclusive discounts in the gift shop. So, if you’ve been thinking about joining, this is a pretty great excuse. Support local writers and save a little while you’re at it.

Swing by, browse a bit, and leave with your next favorite read. 📕
