The house museum has been preserved well with improvements done to the house. We enjoyed learning about the history of the owners of the house. Bayless-Selby House Museum is located in a quaint area with the African American museum next door. I believe they have historic events throughout the year. We got to check out the log cabin close by as well. If you enjoy exploring Victorian style or traditional style homes I recommend exploring the museum. They welcome donations to the house museum.

It was definitely my favorite part of our trip to the area! I couldn't believe all the artifacts it possessed. Texas played a significant role in the American Civil War Secession: Texas joined the Confederacy in early 1861, a few weeks before the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter. Texas declared its secession from the Union on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861, after it had replaced its governor, Sam Houston, who had refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. Military: Nearly 90,000 Texans served in the military. Leaders of the Texas forces included legendary figures John Bell Hood, Albert Sidney Johnston, John Bankhead Magruder, Patrick Cleburne, and Ben McCulloch. Battles: Texas forces fought in many major battles, including Gettysburg, Antietam, Second Manassas, Wilson's Creek, The Wilderness, Vicksburg, Corinth, Shiloh, Chickamauga, Glorieta Pass, Pea Ridge, Gaine's Mill, Franklin, and Mansfield. Texas also defended its own coastline, repulsing Union invaders at Brownsville, Sabine Pass, Galveston, Corpus Christi, and Laredo. Blockades: The Union blockaded Galveston, Houston, and other ports, making it difficult for farmers to export their crops. Closing: The surrender of the Trans-Mississippi Department of the Confederacy at Galveston on June 2, 1865 was, as Capt. Benjamin Franklin Sands of the United States Navy noted, "the closing act of the Great Rebellion." Just a few weeks later on June 19, Gen. Gordon Granger, commander of U.S. troops in Texas, arrived in Galveston and ended slavery in Texas by issuing an order that the Emancipation Proclamation was in effect in Texas later to become known as Juneteenth.

It is so extraordinary how many personal pieces and artillery/weapons are on display for us to experience. The very last exhibit included Victorian dresses on display! So fascinating to see in detail the stitching and different types of fabric that these dresses boasted. It also detailed the different bustles and corsets women used. Regarding the Museum, there is ample parking and restrooms are located near the entrance. The gift shop has cool items that are reasonably priced. It is unfortunate they will be closing in December 2023 though.

Second they harass you the day of the event and what i mean by harass they don't walk around to see if you need help however the staff does troll around looking for you to violate a rule. The rules alone are annoying and make it difficult to create a serene environment. Thirdly, and this by far the dumbest of them all. They advertise as a wedding venue, will allow alcohol and beer onsite for guest and will also allow a DJ to play music however there's a no dance in the inside rule .. i know your dumb founded we were too Avoid this place because you will be disappointed.

It's amazing to me that they can pack so many items into a store! We were able to find some good bargains, and will go back again. The folks that work up front are professional and pleasant, and did a nice job in carefully wrapping our treasures. Love this store. The one caveat is this: just as with every other antique mall, not everything is a bargain, so you must take care. Thumbs up!

A must-see! I highly recommend seeing this museum once, and you won't be disappointed! I had an amazing experience! Come and learn about this fascinating film icon! Bravo!!!!! 5 Stars!!!

After waiting in line at the check-in and going through a metal detector we were directed to a waiting room where a friendly employee explained that there was a mysterious story that you could try to figure out or you could just explore. Then they led us into the room to start exploring at our own pace. It was a really cool experience and full of creatively fun art. It was definitely an out of this world experience. After spending a few hours exploring we briefly visited the souvenir shop. We didn't get anything but they do have a variety of things to purchase. Overall The Real Unreal Meow Wolf is worth a visit if you like hands on experiences with a mysterious story that you can try to figure out while enjoying the creative art work.

But, to borrow from my Santa Fe review: Meow Wolf is the love child of a Choose Your Own Adventure Picture Book mixed with a carnival funhouse maze, and is to art what food trucks are to food.

They have a small gift shop at the entrance and charge admission there. I think I paid $11 or $12 dollars to enter. From the gift shop you then enter into a couple of small rooms and a hallway with a lot of old military aviation displays, models, pictures, etc. From there you have two hangars to visit. One hangar has several aircraft inside where both civilian and military planes that appeared to me flyable with some of those were being worked on. The other hangar has other aircraft inside that look un flyable but are being renovated or just stored. I believe this organization may be affiliated with the Commemorative Air Force and there were several aircraft in the first hangar that looked like they were in good shape and ready to fly at air shows. This museum gives the visitor an opportunity to watch mechanics serving and rebuilding planes. I would budget 30-45 minutes to visit here.
