The former home and studio of German sculptress Elisabet Ney is open to the public for exploration. This home was one of the first buildings erected in the Hyde Park neighborhood, which was developed as a suburb in 1892 by Monroe Martin Shippe. Ney referred to her space as Formosa (beautiful in Portuguese) and visitors flock to this museum to view nearly 50 busts and statues of Texas heroes, as well as Europeans she sculpted as a young artist. Her tools and several personal items are also on display. Admission is free.

Woodburn House Bed & Breakfast

Hometown history 4401 Ave D
Austin, TX 78703
United States
+1 512 458 4335 / +1 888 690 9763
http://www.woodburnhouse.com/ The simple architecture and native history highlight this former residence of Bettie Hamilton Woodburn, who resided in the house from 1909-1920. As the daughter of Andrew Jackson Hamilton, a provisional governor of Texas, she welcomed many notable Texans and world leaders into her home. Erected at 200 East 40th Street, the house has since been moved and reflects the American Arts and Crafts period. Tours by appointment only. Please call for available hours.
