Visit The Grace

The Grace Museum is a place for all ages to explore art, history, and creativity. Our 1909 building was originally the Hotel Grace, built to welcome travelers on the railroad. Since 1992, The Grace Museum has been a cornerstone to the revival of Abilene’s Downtown area as a welcoming center for the arts and community activity.

We hope you will enjoy your visit to The Grace Museum and will return to visit us often!
