This museum houses quite a collection of interesting and historical buggies. The sheriff, Marc, was kind enough to give us a tour and explain the significance of the buggies. Some have really neat stories as to their origin and route to ending up in Blanco, TX.

We would have enjoyed the visit even if it was self-guided, but having Marc lead the way made it a true 5-star experience. Well done, Sheriff Marc!

Amazing to see

I am updating my review because my husband and I decided to give the museum another chance. Thankfully, the worker we previously had an issue with was not there. However, because I am unsure whether he is still employed by the museum, I am not comfortable giving a full five-star rating. We were fortunate to receive a guided tour from an amazing woman who called herself “Pistol-Shootin’ Paula.” She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience so enjoyable The museum itself is phenomenal! It is exceptionally well organized, and every turn reveals something new and interesting. Our tour was both educational and entertaining, and we ended up spending several hours there because the collection is so extensive and impressive. I am very glad we decided to give the museum another chance!

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 horrible man again.

I cannot recommend the Buggy Barn Museum enough! The collection of buggies is absolutely fascinating, and it is amazing to step back in time and see so much history preserved in one place. However, the absolute highlight of our visit was our tour guide, Mark. Mark is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the exhibits, but he is also genuinely hilarious. He kept us laughing and perfectly engaged the entire time, balancing great historical facts with a fantastic sense of humor. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by and definitely ask if Mark is giving tours that day. A fantastic experience all around!

I went there alone. And because it was so interesting, I took family and friends. At these times the Western town was just being built. This place is fascinating ! On my independent tour, I first saw a fancy black hearse with glass windows. Going around, I also saw vehicles that the owner had bought from various movies. But, it's upstairs on the second floor that draws interests. Here one sees wagons. I studied them, especially their brakes. And I understood how easily wagons without brakes could cause accidents. There were many buggy types, small to large, with many different features in designs and materials. As I studied them from the simplest to complicated ones, I discovered mechanical development patterns, leading to early motor vehicles. When I took a friend, the owner met us. This was because of a friend. She and her husband were friends of the owner. She asked him to show us the future Western town. And he did ! We were escorted in a slow moving horse - drawn buggy in the back of the museum. He pointed and talked what would be here and there. Do come and see this site ! Learning here is interesting and fun !

Just such a charming place and absolutely so informative

Awesome place! Full of history. Even the kids loved it. All the staff we're super welcoming and full of stories. My only complaint is no a/c in some spots and so hot. So bring a neck fan.

I absolutely loved visiting the Buggy Barn! The collection is incredible-not just the buggies themselves, but all of the fascinating historical items and miscellaneous artifacts throughout the museum. Mark is hilarious, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell he has a real passion for preserving and sharing history. Paula also puts on a fantastic presentation and has a wealth of knowledge to share.

What really stood out to me was how welcoming everyone was. They encourage visitors to get up close to the displays, which makes the experience much more engaging and memorable. If you’re anywhere near Blanco, I highly recommend stopping by. It’s a unique, fun, and educational experience that I won’t forget!

We had a wonderful experience at the buggy barn. Sheriff Mark gave us a tour through the Entire museum. The price of the ticket was worth just hearing him give very informative information and he had us rolling on the floor with all of his funny jokes. Mark definitely made the tour very enjoyable. I've never seen such a variety of wagons and stage coaches and buggies. Quite amazing to say the least. We spent over four hours at the museum looking at everything. I highly recommend this great treasure.

We had a great time, Mark gave us a lot of interesting information and history about the buggys and wagons.
