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.

I was in Texarkana in December for work at the same time that we had our short government shut down…read moreso I had a day we had to kill before the defense budget was passed and we got back to work the next day. I found this house on Yelp's things to do search...it was slim pickins for sure. I rounded up four other coworkers to go as well. We couldn't take pics inside so I just have the exterior. It's been a few months so I don't totally recall the history but I think that the original owner was the only lawyer in town. His wife would fly to Neiman Marcus in Dallas twice a year to shop. The photos of the shoes that are on yelp from the business owner are just a small snapshot of all the shoes. There were so many that were cute by today's standards. I loved looking at the shoes. The house was made so that all rooms were an octagon, I think I recall the reasoning was because you get the most light that way. But again...I could be butchering this story. The house had many rooms and a lot of detail. The family donated it to the city as a museum and left a lot of the decor and just took stuff that was sentimental. I think a nephew still lives in town. The house and the grounds definitely needed TLC and preservation. But that costs money and I don't think they're raking in the dough. When we got to work the next day I told one of the dudes that lives in Texarkana that we went there and he knew all about it and mentioned the wife flying to Dallas for shopping lol. So...long story short...if you're in the area and looking for something to do I think this is a great choice. It's cute and informational and supports the community.

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 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.

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.
