Join us on the front lawn for a night of Moth-style true personal stories. Local comedians and storytellers tell personal tales beneath the grand columns of the NCHM porch.
September 7th is the birthday of Grandma Moses, a self-taught artist who began painting at the age of 78. Known for her simple honest style and quick wit, Moses’ life teaches us that it’s never too late to begin the next chapter of our life’s story.
Tickets are priced at $15 for nonmembers, $10 for students, and includes cocktails! All proceeds support the Neill-Cochran House Museum.
Complimentary cocktails will be provided by our wonderful friends at Still Austin Whiskey Co. Free parking is available behind the Museum.
