The Briscoe-Garner Museum is dedicated to sharing the remarkable lives and legacies of two of the most influential 20th century political leaders from the Lone Star State: Vice President “Cactus” Jack Garner and Governor Dolph Briscoe.
Many prominent politicians have gathered at Ettie and John Nance Garner’s home, a National Historic Landmark designed by Atlee Ayres and built in 1920. As a museum, the Garner home offers a place for students, families, scholars, and history enthusiasts to learn about the significant impact of two of Uvalde’s native sons.
