Buggy Barn Museum
Award-winning collection in the beautiful hill country of Blanco, Texas
WHO WE ARE
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 museum's primary goals.
There are over 250 unique buggies, carriages and wagons with no two the same! Dating from the 1800s to the 1900s, we have the largest collection of buggies and wagons in Texas! We have buggies from 12 different countries!
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, Killers of the Flower Moon; and television series Revolution, Underground, 1883, Bass Reeves, 1923, and so much more! The hit series 1923 is a big draw for visitors. Come see our newest addition of the wagons and carriages from the television series The Chosen!
Visit the Museum
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. There is a fully furnished gift shop to remember your trip by.

Visitor Stories
Has a great time and I'll admit I wasn't that interested but I was immediately eating my words. The staff were great and helpful to my older sister in law, gave us the history of the museum and buggies and we all had a great time.
Good chance we'll be back next time we are in Blanco ❤️
Had a photoshoot there. Great amazing place. The staff? She was very nice.
So many buggies! Great staff! A complete Western town, used in movies, used as party and event venue. Fantastic! One of the best days we spent in Texas 💕
What a wonderful place to stop and check out, there is so much to see and explore you have to stop by!
Loved seeing all the old buggies and antiques. Buildings and grounds were well kept. The best part though is we got lucky and had a tour with the whitty sheriff. Best joke's in boots this side of the Mississippi.
Great hidden gem! Sheriff Mark elevated the experience by guiding us through the museum and cracking jokes along the way. Lots of unique buggys, movie set, and lots of history. Glad we visited during our stay!
Absolutely fantastic!!!! A need to stop and see.
If you like all kinds of buggies, stagecoaches or horse carriages, this is the best place I have seen. They even have a old western town.
Fabulous day trip! Sheriff Mark offered to lead us on a tour and I'm thrilled he did! We saw parts of the museum we might have missed, heard all the history and fun movie facts and ended up spending almost 2 hours spell bound. Thatc2 hours flew by! Absolutely worth the time. Plus Sheriff Mark will show you things about the buggies you can't see otherwise. 😁
This museum was so fun to explore and our tour guide, Pistol Packing Paula, was amazing and shared so many interesting facts about the wagons, carts, and carriages. She made the whole experience way better! She was so sweet and patient with our two year old daughter and even put her up on a ride on horse and gave her a cowgirl hat to wear for a photo! Her demonstration of her pistol twisting and her bull whip show was impeccable! So glad to have had this experience and would definitely recommend!
