Neill-Cochran House Museum

Neill-Cochran House Museum Think west campus is changing now? We interpret 100 years of Austin history starting with the house's construction in 1855 in the (then) Austin suburbs.

The Neill-Cochran House Museum is a treasured part of Austin's history. The historic house was built in 1855 by Abner Cook, the Master Builder who also designed the Texas Governor's Mansion and several other important historic buildings around Austin. The House has survived, largely unchanged, through several tumultuous periods in American History, not only as a residence, but also, at times, as a

school, a hospital, and now, a museum and event rental facility. The NCHM is one of the few antebellum historic residences open to the public.

It's Artifact Friday!✨

This fainting couch was gifted to the Museum by Martha Cottingham and used to belong to a family friend, Edleen Berg (1891-1975), who lived just a few blocks aways on Nueces St. So, while this piece of furniture is not original to the house, it is a genuine antique and representative of the area and the time when the Cochran family lived in the house.

Learn more about our collection on our website or when you visit the Museum!

We're open Wednesday through Sunday from 11am until 4pm ⭐️🤓

⁉️Would you faint on this couch???
