Falls On The Colorado Museum

Located in a lovely old building which has housed an early university and a first-​generation public school, this locally curated, small-​town collection of artifacts, furnishings, and photographs is staffed with knowledgeable and friendly volunteer guides. It’s free to the public and open three days a week.
Take a weekend tour if you’re curious what the eponymous «Marble Falls» looked like prior to creation of the Highland Lakes. Hear the story of how a blinded soldier, guided by his treasured memories, returned from the Civil War to found this town on the banks of the Colorado.
Falls on the Colorado Museum is tucked in a grove behind a present-​day school complex, and cannot be readily seen from the road – pre-​trip mapping is highly advised. As a bonus, you will, upon exiting, find yourself a few blocks from the meringue-​topped pie-​fest that is the Blue Bonnet Café!
