Special Events
Baylor Line Camp visits Mayborn
It Takes a Village
The Mayborn Museum Complex received some horticultural assistance from future Baylor Bears who were attending Line Camp. While helping to add to the new landscaping, they also got a chance to experience the newly renovated buildings of the Governor Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village.
Baylor Line Camp is an extended orientation program that helps better equip new students in their transition to Baylor while emphasizing their personal strengths.
Free Sunday Program
Our Free Sunday Program continues on August 5, 2012 thanks to the support of our sponsor
Kohl's.
Baylor University's Mayborn Museum would like
to thank
Greg May Honda (Waco) & Chevrolet (West) for
sponsoring July's Free Sunday.
Join us as we welcome everyone to the museum with no admission charge.
