The Wittliff Collections — Attraction in San Marcos

This exhibit of all memorabilia Lonesome Dove is very thorough. This is a must see if your a fan of the miniseries! In addition to the photos, sketches and props from the movie there are items of interest from the state of Texas and of the old southwest history. You'll even see an additional exhibit on music that includes Willie Nelson. This is a wonderful experience and the best part is that it's all free! Parking is time consuming and with patience you will find it. It is a bit of a walk from parking to the exhibit so wear good comfortable shoes.

What a find!! This hidden gem is a must see for Lonesome Dove fans, Music and art lovers. This is are second time. While the first time, we went for the Lonesome Dove exhibit (which is quite moving), we were treated with various art exhibits each with a unique meaning connected to the southwest and Mexico. We returned once again, and loved our time there. Free parking and free admission! The staff is so friendly. It’s a must see if you have time for a quick stop off 35 located in the library of Texas...

This place had so many nice surprises from Viva Terlingua to Cormac McCarthy. We went for Lonesome Dove and found so much more. The only reason for not five stars is parking. Do not be fooled by the six parking spaces that say guest for the Wittliff collection. You will get a ticket. Search the TSU website for information months in advance to find out how to apply for permission to park there. We did not know. We got a ticket. Hopefully they can figure out a more visitor friendly way to show off this...
