The Neill-Cochran House Museum is located in the heart of Austin, TX, just a few minutes walk from the UT Austin campus.  We steward one of the city's oldest residences (1856), including Austin's only intact slave quarters. We share our site, Austin, and Texas history from the city's birth in 1839 up to 1930 through historically furnished spaces as well as numerous rotating art and history exhibitions.
