Hormel Historic Home

Built in 1871, The Hormel Historic Home strives to preserve the Home and History of the George A. and Lillian Hormel Family.
Now a community resource with a mission to preserve the home and to honor the family legacy of Hospitality, Music, Education, and community service through meaningful programming and outreach.

In 2010, the Hormel Historic Home had a vision to create Autism Programming to serve youth on the spectrum and their families. That initiative, now called Autism Friendly Austin, is making our community more inclusive and understanding of autism spectrum disorder.
