Port Aransas Museum preserves an early 20th century kit house, which was donated to the Port Aransas Preservation and Historical Association in 2007 and was one of the state’s most endangered structures at the time of its donation.
Today, the relocated and renovated house is operated as a public museum, offering permanent exhibits on the area’s history and culture.
Major artifacts showcased include the original fourth-order Fresnel lens from the nearby Lydia Ann Lighthouse and a collection of more than 12,000 original civic photographs and documents.
The museum also offers guided tours of several nearby historical attractions, including the Little Chapel on the Dunes, constructed in the 1930s for Texas’ Poet Laureate, Aline Carter.
