Description

The Buggy Barn Museum is located in the beautiful hill country of Blanco, Texas. Just 50 miles from almost all surrounding areas; the museum makes it a great place to escape for the day. The museum is dedicated to providing a unique educational opportunity to step back in time. Expansion of the museum's collection and promoting the preservation of these modes of horse drawn transportation in history are two of the museums primary goals.

There are over 200 unique buggies, carriages and wagon with no two the same! Dating from the 1860s-1900s, you'll be sure to step back in time! Several buggies were used in movies such as the remake of True Grit, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, There Will Be Blood, The Redemption of Henry Myers, Deliverance Creek; the television series: Revolution, Underground and so much more!

There are many things happening all the time at the museum. Come and tour the museum at your own pace. Each buggy has the history on it, so you can spend as much time here as you'd like. We also welcome schools and other groups, and we will gladly give guided tours as well. We have buggy rides available by appointment only. There is a fully furnished gift shop to remember your trip by.
