Pioneer Farms is a living history museum depicting the lifestyle of early-day Texans - when Austin was just a small town, long before cars and cell phones had been invented, when bonnets and buggies were in vogue. Pioneer Farms is a volunteer-run property of the Heritage Society of Austin, one of Texas' oldest organizations dedicated to historic preservation.
Step back in time for a variety of educational programs for both children and adults.

Our museum features three historic farmsteads and an entry village, plus acres of prairie pastures, farmyards and wildlife. Each is interpreted just as life would have been in the 1800s on Central Texas' Blacklands Prairie.
