VISIT US
The museum is located inside a historic private home near Austin, Texas. We are open to the public by appointment.
Admission is $4 for adults, $2 for children, students with ID, and seniors.
Please email or call for more information on how to schedule your visit.
RULES AND MUSEUM ETIQUETTE
Anyone wishing to conduct research at the museum must receive permission and make an appointment to do so. To obtain permission, please email us and request a copy of our Research Request Form. You may be required to submit additional documents or credentials. Researchers should await confirmation of their request before planning their visit.
Appointments must be made at least two weeks in advance. This allows time for staff/volunteer scheduling and the retrieval of requested archival materials to be studied. The museum reserves the right to determine whether or not its staff can accommodate your request.
Groups are limited to 10 persons at a time inside the home. Bus/van parking available.
For your comfort and the protection of our flooring, we request that you wear soft-soled shoes.
Due to the fragile nature of our collections, we regret that we cannot allow children under 6 years of age inside the museum.
All visitors will be required to provide photo identification at check-in.
No large bags/backpacks are allowed inside the museum; staff will secure these items for you during your visit.
Cameras and recording devices are not permitted. However, photocopies, reproductions and/or digital scans of items from our collections are available for a nominal fee.
No food, drinks, or smoking inside the museum.
Parents are asked to closely supervise their children and keep the family group together at all times. School group tours require at least (1) teacher or chaperone.
Because the museum is also a family home, we ask that you respect the privacy of the occupants and do not explore areas that are roped off, behind closed doors or marked “private.”
We enjoy opening our personal residence to the public and sharing our collections with visitors. For security purposes we carefully screen all guests in advance to safeguard against theft or vandalism. We do not publish our street address on the Internet. (After all, this is our family home too. We enjoy our privacy during non-business hours.)
Although we rarely turn away a prospective visitor, we reserve the right to refuse admittance to any persons or groups at our sole discretion. Loud, disrespectful, obnoxious or intoxicated persons will be asked to leave the museum.

CONGRATS!!!! So happy to see you finally get the museum going again. Hopefully, my wife and I can make it down there this summer to visit. We live in the Dallas area.
Nice to here the museum is up and running. I have become very interested in the life and careers of Doug and Mary Pickford and I must say no one can hold a candle to them. As they were real trail brazers.
You’ve hit the ball out the park! Icnredilbe!

Hello! My grandfather was Tony Rego, who played for the Los Angeles Angels in the early 1920′s when Robin Hood was filmed. I my mother told me that many of the ball players were used as extras for this film including my grandfather. I wound up with two photographs from that film, One is a picture of the Los Angeles Angels on the set with Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. and another is an autographed picture of Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. to my grandfather. I’m in the process of preserving it. Once I have done so, I will be sure to make sure you receive a copy of this if you don’t already have one. I hope this helps!
Hello and thank you so much for sharing your grandfather’s story. Yes, Fairbanks apparently did use members of the Angels team as extras on Robin Hood. We would be delighted to place a copy of your photos on file in our archive! Drop us an email any time.
Do you know who has the licensing rights to Doulas Fiarbanks Jr Productions. Specifically I am interested in an episode of Rheingold Theater called Silent Night, The Story of the Original Christmas Carol.
Thank you
