    The main viewing room

    My wife wanted to go to the exhibit because she knew the quilter who designed and made the quilts and has since passed. It was a well done display. The artist was versatile with a broad range of themes. I didn't count, but they must have had 30 or so quilts on display. My wife considered the exhibit worth the trip from Houston to La Grange. I'm not that much of a quilt enthusiast but the quilts were nice. You aren't supposed to take pictures inside the museum, but I took one toward the entrance (assuming they didn't care) and another of the main area when the receptionist looked away accepting the fee from an arriving customer.

    Beautiful gardens.

    Loved it. The "docents" were very kind and attentive. It's a small place but a nice outing. I think it was $5 admission.

    The price just to look was $8 and only had about 30 quilts to look at and about 6 used ones for sale!

    Stopped here about 30 min before closing and glad I made the super last minute decision to do so!…read moreIt's an old jail, but also the living quarters of the sheriff and his family. The first floor has historical artifacts from the area, and the top three or four floors are the jail. It is super creepy up there but fascinating. It seems so old, and it is, but it was also used up til the 1980s! Absolutely worth the $5 entry (cash only). Take the 5 min walk from the beautiful town square and check it out! It would probably only take you 30min to 45min to see fully.

    Before we headed to Lockhart we looked into places to visit. The Pearl, Museum of Clocks, and BBQ…read more This historic site did not come up. The owner of a small but cool store suggested it saying it needs better advertising and the reviews prove that. Lately I have tried to make my reviews a bit more fun and story like but I have to say while I'm glad we saw this is feels wrong to be frivolous or fun. This is a depressing place and thinking that actual people were locked up here angers you or makes you sad. A small heads up we didn't have, there is a monument out front to "Our confederate soldiers". We got caught off guard. Inside we were greated by a kid running the show. Friendly but awkward. He tried to engage conversation but it felt forced. I personally got the impression he either doesn't normally do this or interact with people or he was told to engage more by the company he works for, still he tried. They have T-Shirts for sale. Larger sizes not available. A book of clearer photos of the graffiti in the cells from the time of its use and a book of stories of people who visited that had been locked up there were available. It is all self guided. No signs for tours or even headphones with the story. Everyone can just go anywhere including children. This opens up some issues. The hand railings on the stone and metal steps are adult height. There is debris around, evething is metal so children running free could be easily hurt. Also unless the parent explains to the kid the overall concept may not hit. They have recreations of rooms that cattlemen families or important people in the county. Also maybe family of the jailers. It wasn't very clear and the descriptions are in the rooms where you can't go. Also various other historical pieces which we took pictures of to post here. The stairs going up are crowded, low ceilings. Steps seem smaller then modern ones and it was foreboding looking up where you were headed. As Shana said you felt tall even though you know you aren't. The cells felt claustrophobic even when you weren't locked up. Upstairs are the cells and man is it depressing. Awful to imagine people were here. It's hot,cramped, all metal including the beds and tables. It's hard to convey in words The feeling of hopelessness there. Then through in the graffiti from that time. It all looks ancient but this ran until 1983! There were several floors of two person cells. They had a dumb waiter to deliver food. The top floor had a slight difference in the cells there had a two door system coming out of the cells. I wonder if the more violent offenders may have been locked up there on that floor. Overall a interesting if depressing look at how we treat people who commit any type of crime. I'm glad we came but it would not be for everyone.

    I have walked around the Georgetown Town Square a few times and never noticed The Williamson…read moreMuseum. It is a small yet wonderful hidden jewel. It does such a great job of bringing local history to life in a way that's interesting, engaging, and enjoyable to experience. The exhibits were well done, thoughtfully curated, and give you a real appreciation for Williamson County's beginnings. The museum is welcoming, educational, and perfect for all ages...as a visitor I found it interesting to understand Williamson County's history. It's a great stop if you enjoy history or want to learn more about the community you're are visiting. Highly recommend checking it out and supporting this local museum. Important to note, entrance to the museum was free.

It's a shame that small town bigots and prudes are reviewing this small local museum poorly because of their views. As people who are newer to the area we were able to learn a lot of information about the past of the area. The man working there had extra stories for us and recommended other historical places in the community to visit. There is nothing that is sexual or outlandish in the exhibits, just true history, perfectly digestible for children. Many of the exhibits are interactive with additional sounds, videos, or items to lift and read under. We found it by exploring the square, but they do offer scheduled tours. Free to visit, but please consider donating or purchasing something that they have on sale in their gift shop to support them!

    Oct 28 is Emma's Birthday... so Magnolia Hotel decided to open the doors to celebrate! Free tours…read morefrom 10am-2pm! I just happened to see something come through my newsfeed over Fb, I bookmarked it, found my schedule open, so headed east to check it out. Emma likes to play in her room... and who doesn't like to play with little spirits?! I didn't know the history of the Magnolia Hotel so was totally clueless walking in the door... Magnolia Hotel has been on Ghost Adventures on Travel Channel. Also, Magnolia Hotel is ~not~ a hotel, it is now a personal residence. To my delight, I was able to hear stories of the old hotel, tales of it's past residents many of which have never left, and how Magnolia Hotel was discovered by the owners. Jim & Erin saved the Magnolia from being demolished... they single handedly have saved a part of Seguin history!... and some haunted history at that! I spent about two hours just hanging out, looking around, and people watching... talked to some interesting people, listening to questions and answers... all very interesting. Did I have an experience? I had something creepy go up the back of my left neck and skull as I was talking to a ghost hunter in the original dining area where the owner was sitting. I also felt some weird things around the house... but something I brushed off at first until I started listening to others talk about it... when you first come up the stairs, it feels really heavy. I originally brushed it off as I just walked up the stairs... but no, go back and you feel it... and everyone was feeling it!!! Emma was playing in her room. One of the guides said just a few minutes earlier, a little girl got scratched. Then someone told her that they saw the door knob in the pink bathroom turn back and forth. The owner, Erin, said this house is more active during the day than at night. Wow! The owners Jim & Erin host a ghost tour in their home on occasion, which books up months in advance. The tour last about 2 hours with in-depth stories which might also include a spiritual reading from the Erin at the end (but only if deceased wish to come forward). Erin has written Haunted New Braunfels, Haunted Seguin, and soon to be released Haunted Magnolia House. All proceeds go towards restoring the Magnolia Hotel. I can not wait to go on their ghost tour!

    The Haunted Magnolia Hotel - By far our most unusual capture in the Traveling Salesmen's lobby area. The guest has two faces and she is the one with bangs.
