Tips for O. Henry Museum

Visit the home of the master of the short story..
In Short
William Sidney Porter, or O. Henry, lived in Austin from 1884 to 1897, when he worked as a reporter, bank teller, draftsman and pharmacist. In fact, many of his stories were set in his various Austin haunts. This Queen Anne-style cottage-turned-museum is the only remaining Porter home. Many of the artifacts from his life are on display here and this is also the location of the annual O. Henry Pun-Off World Championships.
