The story of this historic home spans many generations and the character of the home, the pictures and artifacts are well maintained. The docent was very well spoken and entertaining in his presentation through the many rooms and the telling of the years of its familial occupation, with many pieces of family history quite interesting. The grounds are beautiful with many places to rest and enjoy, even a picnic if you wish. Well worth the cost and surprisingly cool even in a day when the outside heat was well over 100 degrees.

This museum was a great surprise! The grounds are grassy, impeccable, and gorgeous. The house itself was great. We went on a week day and had a private tour. It's not like most old, historic houses. We were allowed to walk around all of the rooms and the extremely knowledgeable guide had lots of pictures of the residents and what the house previously looked like. The rooms are filled with authentic, interesting houses. It's a great glimpse into what life looked like 100 years ago. It's well worth a visit!

We visited the home on 12/13, it was the day they had the ribbon cutting for the new visitors center. The visitors center is located across the street and had just undergone a beautiful restoration - back to it's original charm. The Magoffin home was decorated for Christmas, it was beautiful! The period furnishings in the home are lovely. The staff is very friendly and enthusiastic about the history of El Paso and the Magoffin Home. A nice visit.

Well maintained historical site that may lead one to do more google research. Docent was well informed. Young kids did not find interesting.

My family of 4 visited on July 5. I have a 20 year old soldier at Fort Bliss and an 8 year old. It's hard for us to find attractions to meet the interest level of both kids! I love historical homes that have been restored to their former glory and this did not disappoint. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed her job. She told us about the Magoffin family and the origin of the house and took us through each room, pointing out interesting items. It was a little oasis in the city. It's well preserved and taken care of. Because we were with our son, we got in for free, because local museums have free admission for Blue Star families. It was a nice surprise. I recommend visiting this jewel!

That was a short but sweet and very informational tour. I leaned about El Paso that I never knew. I was born and raised her and didn't know half of it. Great tour.

A must see and visit. If each local resident showed up; then, we would all enjoy our own El Paso history. If you never have gone on an El Paso vacation; even if you are a local - this must be one of your places to visit.

I've been going to El Paso for decades, and just stumbled upon this attraction. My sister and I went. It was very informative. It was the guide and us, and we spent well over an hour on the history of the house, the family, and El Paso in general. Very wrothwhile!

We loved the history that they talk about on the tour. I have lived in El Paso all my life and did not know a lot of happened here. They rooms are so pretty!! They are well kept. I would love to live there!

The Magoffin Home is a lovely green spot on the outskirts of downtown, with much history to tell. There are many special events here, and the guided tours will give you an understanding of early El Paso and frontera history, especially the seamless cross-border nature of the society in the late 19th century.
