FOOD OPTIONS NEAR THE RANSOM CENTER

You’re on your own for lunch on August 2. Below are places to eat that are within a three-block radius of the Ransom Center. (Thanks Margaret S for the list!)

UPDATE April 5, 2019:
The days program is coming together! We expect the event will run 8:45am-4:00pm, but remember it’s a drop-in/drop-out event if you’re busy with other things. Our morning session will include a presentation by high school students who have taken part in the SMOOT (Student Minds Organizing Opportunities for Teens) program at Austin’s Flower Hill Urban Homestead Museum, meeting monthly to develop curriculum and hands-on programming with primary sources for other teens in Austin. The remainder of the day will focus on unconference discussion sessions…what’s an unconference?

The Flower Hill Urban Homestead Museum is a celebration of the working class lives of American civil servants, the unsung foundation of our great city and society. By using pieces of the past—including three centuries’ worth of furnishings, textiles, and texts; a gorgeous Texas wildscape, which is home to six historic out-buildings, ponds, and rockeries; and the whole Smoot family story—combined with the Flower Hill Foundation’s unique drive to play an active role in the world today, the Foundation will establish an inclusive museum space where Austin’s fundamental beliefs are celebrated and a culture of creativity and civic mindfulness is cultivated to take on the challenges of the future.
The Flower Hill Foundation exists to honor the late Jane Smoot’s vision to celebrate an Austin founding family of civil servants; preserve one of the city’s last historic homesteads; and empower, inspire, and engage the diverse Austin community of today and tomorrow.

The Foundation is striving to open our doors by Fall of 2019.

Student Minds Organizing Opportunities for Teens (SMOOT) is a volunteer group of local area high school students who currently meet once a month to help develop curriculum and mission-based programming opportunities for teens in the Austin community. In addition to developing hands-on immersive programing, each member of SMOOT has also taken on individual volunteer projects focusing on archiving Miss Jane Smoot’s travel slides, diaries, and scrapbooks.
