点评:We visited The Falls on the Colorado Museum on a Thursday afternoon, and it was such a wonderful find! It was just a quick 7-minute drive from where we were staying, making it an easy and convenient stop.
A Fantastic Local Gem
It’s a small, quaint, and free museum housed in a beautiful 1891 historic granite building that actually served as a local public school for decades (and originally a 19th-century university!). Knowing kids walked those same hallways for generations adds so much character to the space. Inside, there is a surprising amount to see—ranging from Native American artifacts and a cool 700-year-old bison named "Rockie," to nostalgic exhibits on early 1900s life and local school history.
What truly made our visit special, though, was the incredible staff. The staff member working was super nice, friendly, and exceptionally welcoming. When our child started acting out a bit, instead of making us feel uncomfortable, she showed total empathy and even gave him a small gift to cheer him up. That level of kindness and community spirit is rare and meant the world to us as parents!
If you're in Marble Falls, definitely drop by for an hour to explore a piece of local history and support this fantastic free museum. Highly recommended!

一颗绝佳的本地瑰宝
这是一座规模虽小却充满韵味的免费博物馆,坐落在一栋建于1891年的花岗岩历史建筑内。这座建筑曾数十年作为当地的公立学校使用,最初甚至还是一所19世纪的大学呢!想到几代孩子都曾在这些走廊上走过,这便赋予了整个空间独特的魅力。馆内有大量值得一看的展品:从美洲原住民的文物、一只名叫“洛基”的有着700年历史的牛羚,到展现20世纪初生活风貌及当地学校历史的怀旧展览,应有尽有。
不过,真正让我们的参观体验格外特别的,还是那些出色的工作人员。那位接待我们的员工极其友善、热情,而且特别热情好客。当我们家孩子开始有些调皮捣蛋时……她非但没有让我们感到不自在,反而展现了极大的同理心,甚至送了一份小礼物来哄他开心。这种善良与互助的精神实在难能可贵,作为父母,我们对此心存感激不已!
如果你身处马布尔福尔斯,一定要花一个小时来参观一下,了解当地的历史,同时支持这家超棒的免费博物馆。强烈推荐哦!
