Superb, yet disppointing are the words that describe my reaction to my visit. As a deposit of Texas history, my reveiw echos most as it is indeed excellent in every aspect.. As a keeper of the history of the building and The Home for Orphans for many,many years, it fails miserably.. Not a word about what each room was used for, not a word about where the kitchen was, Nothing on how the children lived, worked or were eductaed. In short, aside from the plaque at the main entrance and something very brief in the basement, the museum has scrubed this aspect of the building clean. By all means visit, it is well worth it from the Texas history aspect, just do not expect much on The Orphans.

My daughter and I love it! Very pleasant. Staff was super sweet. Extremely informative and we absolutely loved seeing all the history. We were there for probably over 3 hours and it didn't feel like it at all!

I was not expecting such a wide and interesting array of memorabilia and information on Texas History here. Something for everyone. If in Galveston you gotta make this a priority. I figured in and out in 30 min. We were there over 3 hours and couldn't take in all the displays. We will go back again for things we missed.
