The Magoffin Home, a historic mansion in Downtown El Paso, is now offering hard hat tours to showcase its ongoing adobe restoration work. The Texas Historical Commission said the home, which tells the stories of a multicultural family that influenced the development of the Southwest borderlands, has been closed for repairs but will be open for tourists to watch experts at work.

Tour Details

Hard hat tours will be available on some Wednesdays and Saturdays through July, with more dates to be added. Tours start June 10. To take the tour, visitors must be at least 6 years old and wear a hard hat, close-toed shoes, and long pants. Adult admission is $7, senior admission is $6, and students can get in for $4. The historical commission recommended making a reservation, which can be done through their website.
