Things to do in Corpus Christi, Texas (TX): The Best Specialty Museums
Corpus Christi possesses all of the main ingredients of an ideal weekend getaway: the sun, the sea, the sights, plus exhilarating and engaging activities the whole family can enjoy. Spend the day on the beach soaking up the sun or wind surfing, the breezy city's favorite pastime. Visit the massive Texas State Aquarium with its new Dolphin Bay, a protected habitat for dolphins unable to survive in open water. Take a tour of The USS Lexington, one of the most famous aircraft carriers in U.S. naval history. Stroll through fabulous flora and fauna at the Botanical Gardens. At the Museum of Science and History, check out the recreated Pinta and Santa Maria, two of the ships Columbus used to sail to the new world. At night, enjoy a succulent seafood dinner at any number of fine restaurants, then head to the historic Harbor Playhouse for delightfully original community theater and a true taste of what Corpus Christi is all about.

This home built in 1849 is the oldest home in Corpus Christi and is full of many interesting items representative of the period. Tours don't have to be scheduled, but they are available ONLY on the first Sundays of each month, from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm. The home is operated by the non-profit organization Corpus Christi Area Historical Society. Tours of this 2-story well-preserved house museum are given by two well informed ladies who know much about the history of the house and local history. The home is full of many interesting items, ranging from antique toys, beds, ceramics and an antique piano. We are locals, but have toured many homes across the country, including New Orleans, Seattle, Boston, and Rhode Island; this old home in Corpus Christi is definitely worthy of a visit if you enjoy old homes.

Address is the “back” door, either walk through the restaurant or walk around the block to access the right door. Super free museum, donation box’s inside. The history is amazing and they did a nice job of laying it out. A must do even if you have no interest in surfing.
