About Historic Waco Foundation

Located along South 4th Street in Waco, the Historic Waco Foundation operates as a dedicated non-profit organization focused on local preservation. The property is based in a historic mansion filled with exhibits detailing the city's history, alongside engaging living-past performances that bring historical eras to life. Through its ongoing efforts, the organization maintains and has saved three historic homes for the area, welcoming visitors with informative tours such as the one offered at the Earle-Napier-Kinnard House.

Holding a solid 4.1-star rating from 12 Google reviews, the foundation is supported by Jill Barrow and team members Jenni and Valerie, who work to make regional history come alive. The site features amenities such as a carriage house, which has sheltered historic items like a restored 1895 Pippin Grocery wagon donated roughly thirty years ago. Guests visiting this South 4th Street location can explore curated historical exhibits, view preserved architecture, and experience living-past presentations centered around the heritage of Waco.

There were 3 historic homes that I am very happy that were saved and have been maintained. The tour at the Earle-Napier-Kinnard House was good.
