The role Texas has played in American history is dramatically presented at the Red Men Museum and Library. This is where the national office is located, and the library is inside the same facility. Artifacts from various points in American history are gathered here, like Aaron Burr's writing desk, a ring that used to belong to Rudolph Valentino, and a bugle that was used on the field at Gettysburg. Reference materials, archival documents and other items are all housed here, and this museum presents history from an unmistakable Native American perspective.

During your visit, you will encounter interpreted house museums that are presently open to the public. These historic houses serve as an opportunity to preserve Waco's heritage and history, educate the public, and inspire the community.

Take the whole family for a relaxing lakeside getaway at Lake Waco Cove & Marina. Their beautiful RV park sits alongside the lake shore and is only minutes away from downtown and the famous Magnolia Silos. Be their guest either in your RV or in their cute mini-cabins. The folks there boast of breathtaking views and warm Southern hospitality.
