overview : Set on a lush Lake Austin peninsula, this 1915 Italianate villa was once home to Clara Driscoll, the savior of the Alamo, and her husband Henry (Hal) Sevier. Inside, visitors can tour the renewed Villa and view intimate art exhibitions focusing on art and nature. Outside they can stroll the 12-acre grounds, including the recently restored historic gardens, and view outdoor sculpture. The site is also home to The Art School, a thriving program with more than 400 classes for adults and children. The beloved site is listed on city, state, and national registries of historic places and is an official project of Save America's Treasures.
