Best History Museum in Pflugerville

"To get to grips with Texas just look for this building behind the big star a couple of blocks south of the State Capitol. One of the region’s top attractions, this museum has human artifacts going back to a 16,000-year-old projectile point unearthed half an hour north of Austin. You’ll do a deep dive on pre-European history, the tumultuous 18th and 19th centuries, as well as the many things associated with Texas around the world, like sporting prowess, oil and gas drilling, space exploration, ranching and rodeos."

"The Bullock Texas State History Museum tells the state's story through a variety of interesting interactive exhibits, along with audio-visual displays and film. The permanent Story of Texas exhibit is home to artifacts and displays that feature defining events in the state's history. Artifacts include the preserved hull of the 17th-century La Belle, which was shipwrecked at the mouth of the Mississippi River."

"This facility – housed in a contemporary, ten-story, travertine-clad structure – is a virtual treasure trove of papers and memorabilia from the often flamboyant and much beloved former president's life. Exhibits include a replica of the Oval Office from LBJ's era, along with gifts of state received by him, displays from his boyhood, and a tribute to Mrs. Johnson's humanitarian and environmental works.

"Located on eastern side of the University of Texas campus, the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library has often been decried for its monolithic scale, and almost windowless and featureless travertine exterior. Nevertheless, its distinctive and modern design has worn well over the years. Completed in 1971, it designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill."

"Devoted to the 36th US president, who launched his political career in Austin, this museum is still attracting the crowds more than 50 years since he left office. Beyond the hokey, animatronic LBJ that regales..."

Visitors can stroll the park via the tree-lined path called the Great Walk and admire the numerous monuments."

"If you’re a fan of French comfort foods & boozy craft cocktails (and Absinthe!), then a trip to Péché should be in your future. It’s smack in the middle of downtown just off 4th street in the warehouse district, which makes for a great place to hit up before a night on the town. They have a fabulous Happy Hour, with specials all day Sunday & Monday, and Tuesday through Friday from 4pm-7pm, and you can expect $5 cocktails and 1/2 off food items with asterisk (*) on the bar menu."

"Austin’s absinthe bar offers much more than just pre-Prohibition style cocktails. The rich French fare includes meat-centric dishes like ranch lamb bourguignon, duck confit, braised short ribs, and grilled pork chops. Other offerings include mushroom fritters, escargot, and a classic French onion soup."

"We're going to irritate some locals by highlighting this dapper cottage of deliciousness. Pop in for croissants, crepes and a few noodle dishes in the morning, plus the deliciously creamy Vietnamese coffee."

"Hopfields is a gastropub known for its extensive beer selection, but the brunch menu offers a wide selection of classic brunch staples that pair well with a brew – or just a cup of coffee. The French-inspired menu features new creations like Pommes Rosti (smoked sockeye salmon, pickled red onion, capers, creme fraiche, celery leaves), Sourdough Pancake, and Akaushi Tri-Tip “Au Poivre”. Burger lovers should also be pleased to know that one of Austin's favorite burgers, the Pascal Burger, will be available during brunch!"

Start with a daily selection of fromage with house pickles, go light with a salade verte and then dig right into their Pascal burger."

"Hopfields is a gastropub with craft beer and French-inspired food in an adorable, rustic setting. Their Pascal burger is, I believe, one of the very best burgers in Austin. WEBSITE | 3110 Guadalupe St Suite #400"
