If you’re a fan of furniture, craftsmanship, or even just Texas history, you’ll likely love the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture. This unique museum is located inside of the historic Breustedt-Dillen house, a stunning white farmhouse that is quite a sight to see itself. Each room in the house is set up just like it would be in the 1800s, complete with Biedermeier furniture made by German cabinetmakers.
Visitors can stroll through the rooms and view more than 70 different pieces of furniture that were collected by the late Bill and Nan Dillen, while costumed docents explain the history and craftsmanship behind each piece. These tours also cover the fascinating German immigration to Texas, the history of the house, and some background about the people who once lived in it.
Tours of the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture last approximately one hour. Admission is $5 for adults and $1 for children ages 6 to 12.
