ABOUT
Mayborn Museum Complex
Explore natural history and science on a visit to the Mayborn Museum. See prehistoric items, from a tree cross-section to animal skulls; and more. Visit the Hall of Natural History to see walk-in dioramas of Texas habitats, experience the size of an ancient sea turtle, and view casts of fossils from the Waco Mammoth herd; a remarkable finding not discovered until 1978. In the Texas Lifeways gallery, see a Waco Indian grass hut, a Norwegian rock house, a Comanche tipi, and an early log house. Next, travel back to the 1800s to learn about Native Americans and early Texas pioneers! Compare life as it was then to now, with a visit to a late-1800s riverfront community. This Historic Village consists of a series of 19th-century buildings, including the cook’s house, commissary, planter’s house, and schoolhouse. The Jeanes Discovery Center provides younger visitors with hands-on activities and exhibits.
