Buggy Barn Museum — Attraction in Blanco

A Hidden Gem in the Texas Hill Country! My wife and I visited the Buggy Barn Museum in Blanco, Texas. Let me tell you, it’s an absolute must-visit! We were completely blown away with it. Tucked away right off Highway 281, it's a true Texas gem. They have a collection of over 250 unique buggies, carriages, and wagons from all over the world, with no two being the same. It’s like taking a giant leap back in time, and the history behind each piece was fascinating. We loved discovering which buggies were used in famous movies and TV shows through the years like 1883, Killers of the Flower Moon, and the remake of True Grit to name a few. Several TV shows and portions of big movies have also been shot there on location. The attention to detail and preservation of them was truly impressive. But the experience didn't stop at the barn. The authentic Old West Studio and Pine Moore Old West Town are located right behind the museum. Walking through the town, you feel like you've been transported back in time or onto a movie set. The detail of the buildings was amazing and so authentic. The staff were incredibly friendly and inviting. We had a guided tour with Mark, one of the staff. He was excellent, and talk about a history buff, he knows the story behind each buggy in the exhibit. He shared interesting stories about the museum, the buggies and wagons, and the old western town, with a few jokes and interesting antidotes thrown in just for fun. There was so much to see, we spent more than a couple of hours there. Whether you're a history buff, a film enthusiast, or just looking for a unique and memorable family outing, the Buggy Barn Museum in Blanco is the perfect destination. We highly recommend it and can't wait to go back and see what new...

What an amazing little museum right in the heart of Blanco. A true expression of what Texas and the expansion West was all about. The kids really enjoyed it and there are so many artifacts in so many stories to tell with each one of them. Many buggies from all over the world and definitely all over America. There are quite a bit of other American memorabilia such as revolvers and arrowheads that try to encapsulate the concept of western expansion as you can imagine in a museum like this.

It's a lot more interesting than you would initially think from the outside looking in and I think you will be fascinated with all of the artifacts and their display.

I really appreciate that there are people that make an effort to preserve our heritage...

BEWARE THE MAN AT THE FRONT! The guy that sells tickets is one of the rudest people I've ever encountered. My husband and I arrived at 3:15 and we knew the museum closed at 4:00, but we hoped that 30-45 minutes would be better than not going at all. When we walked in and asked for tickets, the man working there refused and said he had to get ready to close up soon. If that's the case, then it would be helpful if they advertised that they stop selling tickets at a certain time. Regardless, there is a nice way to say we can't buy tickets, but this man was abrasive and incredibly off-putting. We are sad because we want to see the museum but we will NEVER go back at the risk of encountering this...
