Awesome place to visit with a lot of interesting history. Worth the trip.

The tour of the house is great. The backstory of the family is amazing. Learning that the original couple came to settle in El Paso and worked hard to get everything they had really makes you feel like doing more with our life.

A very interesting piece of local history and very knowledgeable guides. House is beautifully maintained ! So glad I came.

Very beautiful experience this home had lots of interesting historic stories.

Went here with the family!!! It was every educational. Would love to go again.

It has history that el paso is proud of but there really wasnt much of it to see. The grounds were immaculate and well kept.

An amazing place to go by yourself or with your family. Very educational and entertaining. They have events sometimes for free or just a few bucks. I went there for a school project, but will definitely come back for the next event. Staff was really attentive and nice, which made the experience even better.

Loved the tour we received while visiting. We went on a free admission day. Lovely antiques, including a beautiful rectangular baby grand piano. The docents are wonderful and one was playing the piano. Great historical home.

Great that this place is taken care of and open to the public, but closed on Mondays, of course thats when I was there.

What a beautiful gem of a home! The expert guides make the tour very interesting, and it is obvious they care immensely for this significant piece of El Paso history. If youre short on time, this is a perfect stop. I highly recommend!

Nice place to visit and learn about the history of the area. Nice visitor center. The guided tours are very informative. The place does have very nice furniture and paintings. The grounds are also very nice. The new visitor has been a very nice addition to the place. Good place to spend a few hours on a week-end.

Guide was very pleasant, knowledgeable, entertaining.

We went with our Homeschooling group and along with the guided tour we had the opportunity to learn about how adobe bricks are made. The children were able to make some of there own also. The man who did our tour (I forgot his name, sadly) was very friendly, informative and patient with the children. We plan to return for some of the classes that are offered and to be able to take another walk through this wonderful piece of history.

Really wonderful place!!!! The people really know their history. Very enriching!!!

The tour is very informative! i wish i could tip that gentlemen!

Its a beautiful house with an impressive history. Our tour guide was friendly and allowed us to ask many questions! A wonderful piece of history. Another friendly/knowledgeable employee also shared some information with us. Great place for cooking classes. The film they showed us before viewing the house made the tour more interesting. I will visit again when in El Paso.

Lovely adobe home with beautiful antiques and the history of the family is the cherry on top.Great tour guides!

Great tour and nice history of the Magoffin family.

Like the reviews suggest, the steak burrito smothered in chile con queso was very good. Service was acceptably prompt considering how busy they were. Prices were fair and our server was very courteous and attentive.

Fantastic experience. Clean location! The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the Magoffin Home. The tour was a little under an hour long. Its Such a neat experience to learn about local history. Great place for history bluffs.

Very interesting historic home in one of the oldest parts of El Paso. Our guide knew a lot of the history of the family that originally owned the home. He managed to bring them to life for us. Well worth the hour and a half or so that we spent there.

I am from El Paso and I just visited today. Gloria, our guide, was very attentive, amicable, knowledgeable and bilingual. Installations are very well preserved, the moment you step a foot in the house you time travel. The Magoffin House is very well maintained, everything is so clean, no weird smells. Highly recommend visiting this place!!!!

Please tap that like button. Thank you.If you want to see the inside get there before 4. The site technically closes at 5, but if you get there after 4 the tour is already happening and the office is locked, so you are SOL. Tour office is across the street.The outside of this place looks great! The surrounding area is a little shady, but we had no issues. If you have some strange fear of humans going through rough times beware homeless people are just around the block.Lots of parking.

Wow! We felt so fortunate to get an individualized tour of the Magoffin Home with the knowledgeable, kind, and funny docent Gloria. She seemed to know everything about the house, the family, and the history of El Paso. We had time to admire each room and ask questions, and Gloria shared the plans for the future. This is definitely a must-see for any visitor to El Paso--it gives you context for everything else you see in the city when you know the history of one of its founding families. We loved it! Thank you!

This is a substantial structure with a fascinating history. The docent brought this to life with detailed explanations. A good component of Texas history.

LOOKS nice from the outside never been inside. I hear its haunted YIKES!!! LOL

The staff was helpful and friendly. A great place to visit while in El Paso!!

Museum staff & volunteers were very helpful & friendly to me & my visiting sister. After living in El Paso over 40 yrs. Its about time I visited this important part of El Pasos history.

Its a beautiful and amazing place to visit! It truly is a hidden treasure! Please visit this historical place! I highly recommend it!

Great tours and information! Guides obviously love history and very knowledgeable! Thanks to Geoff!

Took guided tour. Great perspective on the start of the growth and development of El Paso by the Magoffin family. Very interesting architecture

Super cool house to visit! The tour guide was AMAZING! Friendly and very knowledgeable.

Its a good place to hang out with your friends and families, But the down side is there food is to expensive :(

Very knowledgeable workers about history of el paso and surrounding regions.

Wonderful home. Great history of our city

The place is really awesome full of history the tour guide is very knowledgable of the place and she make it very interesting and fun . Gloria the tour guide was able to tell us very good story about thw house the customs and how they did things way back before .. it was very fun

A hidden gem!! The city should thank the leaders of the 60s for saving this wonderful house from destruction.

What a beautiful gem of a home!

Very authentic building and furnished with authentic peices of the original home owners

Excellent introduction into El Paso and its unique history.

We had an awesome tour because our tour guide, Michelle, was extremely knowledgeable about not only the house and family who lived there, but El Paso and the entire borderland area. We learned a ton and had fun doing it.

Good place to enjoy a day with ur family.

Great tour guide.very patient with our children.would strongly recomend this tour.

This was a cool house although the tour was a little long.

Very interesting early home of one of El Pasos founding settlers. Ca 1875

As a guest in El Paso, it was very interesting to learn about the family that had such a positive influence on this city. Touring an actual Adobe home made in the 1800s was really interesting. Our guide was really knowledgeable and the cost to tour was very reasonable.

Small but interesting. Tour was great and informative. I would recommend it. It is worth the visit.

We took the guided tour. There is a lot of El Paso history, interesting facts, beautiful preserved building and furnishings. Great place to visit.

In order to tour this beautiful home, stop by the visitor center across the street. Tours take about 45 minutes. While extremely informative, the tour could use a bit of polishing. I would call this a must-see for anyone in El Paso.

A beautiful place, a nice tuor of the house guided by a very knowledgeable and professional guide, the place is about 150 years old and its living history of the city

Excellent place to visit. Amazing guided tour by Sharon! Will return. Too many stories for one visit!!!

This is a nice place to visit and get a glimpse of an early 1900s adobe home. The guide we had was very informative and was able and willing to anwer questions and provide background info. This isnt a long visit with an hour sufficient to complete

One of my favorite historical sites in El Paso. A nice place to cool down on a hot summer day.

Kool place!!!! To visit

This district was my old news paper route from 1978 through 1983. I use to deliver the newspaper to over 100 homes. My clients would tip very good and took care of me during the holidays with small gifts.

Good place to visit. Since indoor are always closed, the air is heavy and unhealthy.

The experience was incredibly nice especially with the nice staff members and tour guides. The house itself is really interesting along with the history behind the house.

This place needs to be attended more its an special place

Good History place. Not so good for small kids since it has a lot of vintage furniture and is prohibit to touch.

Great tour! Best Ive had so far.

A beautiful place.

Love this place, really interesting stories, fun programs, and very friendly staff.

Beautifully restored historic home.

Creepy and cool this old homestead offers a great amount of history and fun check it out!

Very nice place to visit to learn about the history of the El Paso area. Our guide was great and super knowledgeable.

Beautiful historic house, neat hiatory, friendly staff, and especially nice when done up at Christmas.

I have been there many times and have taken different people and have always had a great experience !

The guided tour is very informative. The home is beautiful and a must see on a trip to El Paso

Very interesting home and history of one of El Pasos early mayors.

Interesting place to visit

The Magoffin Home has the most caring staff and represents a jewel in the crown of El Paso history. You wont regret it when you visit.

The historic Magoffin Home was originally built by El Paso mayor Joseph Magoffin in 1875. His family lived there until 1976, when the City of El Paso and the State of Texas bought it–and apparently also bought the ghosts that came with it. One ghost is believed to be Charles Richardson, Joseph Magoffin’s brother-in-law and best friend. Uncle Charlie rocks in the rocking chair that he died in long ago, and also opens and closes doors and tinkers with the lights. Also here are a ghostly lady in blue, thought to be Octavia Magoffin, as well as a little girl and a lady in a white Victorian-style dress. Cold breezes and taps on the shoulder have been reported by homestead visitors.

Very interesting. Learned a lot about the history of El Paso.
