Everyone should visit the AHC at least once while in Austin. The historic building itself is beautiful, but the exhibitions are always great too. Take some time to go into the reading room and request some materials from one of their many collections. It's a great, hands on way to learn about the city's history through the papers of its community members.

I went to book signing there for "Tower Sniper: The Terror Of America's First Active Shooter On Campus". It's a very nice building and has some really cool exhibits. It's worth checking out if you're in the area. There is a nice little park across the street with a gazebo.
