New at the Museum

Temporary Exhibits
"Cedar: A Livelihood or a Nuisance? " will be on display in the Madolyn Frasier Room through June 30, 2023.  The exhibit discusses two different perspectives on local cedar trees, which are technically Ashe Juniper. While once a source of livelihood and fence posts, many now consider the tree a nuisance. The exhibit also ​tells the story of the cedar choppers, a tight-knit, clannish group of people who once made a living cutting and selling cedar in the Texas Hill Country.
