Information
Organization's Own Description:
For over thirty years, Garner and his wife, Ettie, lived in the two-story brick house on 333 North Park Street until her death in 1948. In 1952, Garner donated the structure to the City of Uvalde as a memorial to his late wife but continued to reside on the property in a small one-story cottage until his death in 1967. The John Nance Garner House was named a National Historic Landmark in 1972. In 1973, the Garner Museum opened with the mission to preserve and exhibit photographs, cartoons, documents, paintings, sculptures, and artifacts documenting Garner’s life and career.
On November 20, 1999, the City of Uvalde transferred ownership of the Garner Museum to The University of Texas at Austin and was established as a division of the Briscoe Center for American History. In 2011, the Board of Regents of the University of Texas System approved the renaming of the John Nance Garner Museum to the Briscoe-Garner Museum in honor of the late Governor Dolph Briscoe.
