About Calaboose African American History Museum
The Calaboose African American History Museum sits in San Marcos's historically Black neighborhood, across the street from Eddie Durham Park, the Cephas House, and the Historic First Baptist Church. It preserves and shares the story of African Americans in San Marcos and Hays County. Its featured exhibits cover African Americans in the military, a colored school, and the San Marcos Airfield with its Negro USO, and a separate exhibit honors Ms. Ollie with recordings you can listen to. Visitors are asked to sign in at the front when they arrive.
