It's a small space packed full of art with the room to appreciate each piece. You're free to wander around and enjoy the variety of paintings and sculptures. It's all well kept and organized. I noticed they had several events planned for the month, and while husband and I went on a regular day I can imagine that the events are full of creatives and vibrant energy. We were allowed to take one of the golf carts and roam the grounds to look at the sculptures outside. The vehicle was a blessing since we went during a Texas August. The area isn't huge and can definitely be traveled by on foot if you're able and the temperature is better.

A volunteer from the local historical society was welcoming and pointed us to a number of interesting objects that we might have overlooked, including a spinning wheel with a very interesting history. The outdoor exhibits are mostly cabins from the frontier era that have been generally outfitted as they might have been back in those times. They're all fascinating to look at and lovingly detailed. There's also a lot of farm equipment that's just kind of parked there; perhaps an exhibit on the evolution of farming would be useful to add? The indoor exhibits are almost overwhelming in the sheer variety of objects, but there's a good amount of explanatory detail (though some of it is a bit... dated). By the time you leave, you'll have a pretty solid appreciation for the local history of Burnet and a bit more for Texas as a whole.
