A Quilter's Folly

Encounter The Scottish Rite Children's Theater, known as Austin's oldest live theater venue, where you can experience high-quality productions that showcase the traditional theater lifestyle, period costumes, and hand-painted backdrops that were used during the late 1800s. The original plays are from well-known children's fairy tales with a modern twist, which is written to be interactive with the children in the audience and include positive life lessons. Throughout each play, children are encouraged to help the hero defeat the villain and participate in the fun.

It's known as the people's mansion, so take a tour of your home-away-from-home at The Governor's Mansion, which is fully furnished with exquisite antiques and artwork. The historic home was built in 1856 and is the oldest continuously occupied executive residence west of the Mississippi. The building is designated a National Historic Landmark.
