We concentrated on smaller, harder to find historic Republic of Texas sites in our current vacation. The Navarro Houses are definitely the best! The oldest dates from 1832, and all are restored accurately. Very friendly host, and very inexpensive admission. Student, senior & child discounts! Clean restrooms. Excellent videos. Period furniture & garden. Great displays on adobe brick making. HARD TO FIND.
Well worth a visit. A small but important site that gives you a sense of Tejano family life in the 1800s. Also, interesting information about a leader in the Texas revolution, a leader in San Antonio for many years. Very interesting story. Includes activities for kids and several videos.
Very informative! Easy to view each part of the property.
I wish I could remember the name of the Man who was working on the Sunday of labor day weekend. He was very helpful and informative.
Hands on experience.This would be a good place to take kids. You go from building to building. Shows how Navarro was an important figure in the establishment of the Texas Republic, how he made sure native Tejanos werent forgotten, how he was imprisoned in Mexico. For me, he was inspiring. A great human being, really. There are slide shows for the grownups, and for the kids, none of the exhibits are off limits. They can color, sweep, climb on the chairs, play with the kitchen equipment or just run around outside acting like little animals.
Great way to spend the afternoon, especially with kids.The interactive exhibits and videos are fun and informative. Admission is only $4 and it goes to keep the museum up and running. José Antonio Navarro was a fascinating man and one of the fathers of the Republic of Texas. Every Texan should know his story, and the story of the Navarro family.
Very informative. Enjoyed it
Was a great experience learned alot about Southern Texas.
One of the historic place in town, plus the neighbor were friendly and the place is also quiet.

A wonderful historic site right in the middle of downtown San Antonio.
Learned a lot about Jose Navarro and what he meant for Texas.
On Tuesday June 12, 2018 walked 12 minutes from hotel to get to Casa Navarro State Historic Site that was suppose to open at 10 am. Arrived at 10:05 and building was not yet open. Waited 10 minutes for someone to show up but no one did. Left at 10:15 and were disappointed because we were flying home that afternoon.
Enjoyed the history of the site
