Friends of Winedale

Winedale's purpose, in support of the University of Texas' educational mission, is to foster an understanding of Texas history and culture by preserving the collections and making them available for teaching and research. Winedale's resources include 10 historic 19th century buildings, an extensive collection of Texas furniture, decorative arts, and the Winedale Quilt Collection.

The Winedale Historical Complex, a division of UT Austin's Briscoe Center, is a collection of nineteenth-century structures and their period furnishings situated on 225 acres in northern Fayette County. Winedale's collections offer a tangible link to the Texas past, capturing the evidence of history through architecture, furnishings, and decorative arts.
