Sam Houston Memorial Museum and Republic of Texas Presidential Library

Museum displays and associated buildings connect the story of the Texas republic with the domestic and working setting preserved on the grounds.

Check current admission, exhibition hours and guided-tour arrangements before arrival. Access to individual historic buildings and organized demonstrations differs from a casual walk around the exterior grounds. The photograph shows the museum building, not every site within the complex. Allow time to use the visitor map and distinguish the public museum from neighboring university facilities.
