This house is absolutely beautiful. It is an amazingly well kept part of history, and it is full of…read moreinteresting stories. We actually went on a Monday when the house was closed, but we were only in town for Sunday and Monday. Luckily for us, one of the curators of the home was leaving a meeting and saw us. She was so kind and gave us a tour. I couldn't believe how amazing the house was. The furniture, the art work, the clothes, everything thing is so beautiful and in such wonderful condition. When you walk through the house, it makes you feel as if you've stepped back in time. Everyone needs to go on a tour here, it is definitely a must see in Texarkana. I know that it is somewhere we will make the time to see again and again.

Just an amazing place. It was like walking back in time! This place out of all the places I…read morevisited made the trip worth it. The tour guides knew everything about the owners and history of the home. It gave a lot of insight on the time period when the home was build. The best part was five bucks gets you a very personal tour. This was one of the best tours I've been on. Worth a visit if our in the area and definitely worth a visit if your passing through.

Wow at the amount of history in such a small building! The staff is great and it's amazing at how…read moremuch they know! It's only five dollars for two floors of history for the area. They have everything from fossils to current. If you want to know anything about the local area this is the place to be.

Creepy and fun at the same time. My bf and I have been to a few ghost tours/walks and this one is…read moreon top of the list. You can purchase your ticket at the Lindsey Railroad Museum. They will open their door an hour before the tour. if you come in early you will have the opportunity to tour the railroad museum. The tour starts exactly at 9pm and will last approximately 90minutes. Before the tour starts they will offer you emf devices. It's up to you of you wanna take it not. The tour guides are history nerds, they research the facts and make sure that everything is accurate. This is a really great tour!

The colors of this art wall pulled us from blocks away! We had to walk over and check it out! In…read moreApril 2019 the paintings are of national parks scenes created by elementary school students. There are also three sculpture on this same small block and an incredibly well done curb mosaic which displays the many unique buildings and such on offer in Texarkana. As first time visitors, my partner and I were enthralled--especially after visiting the Ace of Clubs House Museum and Post Office (which straddles the state line of AR & TX) only blocks away--seeing those references in the curb mosaic was really exciting:) The rainy, overcast weather also made the colorfulness of The ArtWall really pop and created some great keepsake photos of our weekend roadtrip to Texarkana!

This review is NOT of the museum itself; it is of the management or ownership of the place…read more Hubby and I were in Texarkana on a drive-through heading west toward home in New Mexico. This was one (of two) places listed in the Texas travel guide recommended for visitors, so we made plans to go. Finally found the place, only to find it closed. Not only was it closed, but there was absolutely NO information regarding hours of operation. This is NOT the way to run a business and certainly not a way to encourage travelers to stop. Since I don't ever plan to be back in Texarkana, we've missed this one---and I don't care.

Really enjoyable to walk through this railway museum when I was in Texarkana recently. There are…read morelots of model train and early railroad memorabilia throughout the museum. Had a great time looking over the exhibits and the staff was very friendly.

Although my daughter enjoyed Discovery Place, I found it woefully inadequate compared to similar…read moreinteractive children's museums that I've visited in other cities. Many of the "exhibits" barely deserve the title (resembling something closer to simple children's play areas), and roughly half of those that do appear to be out of commission. Furthermore, the entire building suffers from a sense of decay that feels like it's a couple cigarette burns in the carpet shy of becoming a crack house. That said, there are two specific offerings that save this review from single-star oblivion. First is the Tesla Coil show, which makes up for what it lacks in presentation (the video before the show is almost unbearable) with an admittedly cool display set to music. This comes at no extra cost, which is a nice change from other museums where shows like this typically require an additional ticket purchase. The second shining attribute is the mural work on the main wall, which displays a terrific woodland scene and clearly required a great deal of time and effort from a talented artist. If you believe those two experiences are worth the $5/person cost of entry, by all means, visit this museum. But if you are expecting anything - literally anything - else, you are going to leave disappointed.

Visited Texarkana because husband was on a business trip, so needed somewhere to take the kids in…read morethe day. The place was kind of old looking inside and kind of a mess when we walked. Some things looked like they could really use a deep clean/update. We were the only people in the place (other than the staff member and her kids). For $5 I feel like it was better than having my kids in a hotel room all day, but it just wasn't what I was expecting. The only cool thing about the place was the Tesla show (which I had to go tell a staff member it was 11:30 which was the time the door said they did the show) and cool mural on the wall.

They made me pick up some mail upfront instead of dropping it off in my PO BOX. When I received my…read moremail, the mail bubble envelope had obviously been cut away with scissors and stapled back together. They claimed that's how it was mailed, but I know for a fact that's not how it was mailed. They denied opening my mail, but beware.

Customer service is obviously dead. Went for passports brought all the documentation we could find…read more The passport website says that the offices can do a document search for a fee. I brought my checkbook. Website also says you don't need to submit a birth certificate if you have a valid US passport and a renewal form. I point out that what the website says does not match what I'm being told. The postal worker decides to pop an attitude, "let's get one thing straight right now we don't have anything to do with that website." First of all I really shouldn't have to detail why this is an unacceptable way to speak to a customer in any industry, second, you are a United States Post Office are you not. Then how do you not have anything to do with the information on the USPS website concering passports? I would have accepted "that site hasn't been updated in years" as an answer. I ask the lady for the postmasters name, and ask her to write down the documents she was telling me I needed to bring. Her response, "I'm not about to do any of that." What am I supposed to do, guess what documents I'm supposed to bring you, when the things you were telling me to bring are not things on either the passport application or website? Texarkana postmasters you should be ashamed of the way your employees treat the public. If customer service is dead, don't expect customer politeness to survive much longer.
