"This (museum) was one of the highlights of our three days along the Colorado."

Welcome to The Falls on the Colorado Museum, nestled in the charming community of Marble Falls. Visitors often describe our museum as a hidden gem, a place that would make town founder Adam Rankin Johnson proud.  Housed in a historic university building, which Johnson helped establish in 1891, our museum offers a glimpse into the rich history of the area.

Spanning nearly 6,000 square feet, our museum proudly showcases artifacts from the prehistoric era to modern-day events. Step into the past with our extensive collection of pictures depicting life in the early 1900s. Experience a simpler time with our kitchen display, showing life without electricity. 

Our exhibits cover a wide range of topics, including farm and ranch life, the history of Marble Falls schools, geology, lakes, rivers and dams. Don't miss our collection of Native American artifacts or our beloved Rockie, a 700-year-old bison.
