Robert E. Howard Museum, Literary museum in Cross Plains, Texas.
The Robert E. Howard Museum contains manuscripts, original artwork, personal artifacts, and documents showcasing the author's extensive contributions to pulp fiction literature.
The museum building, constructed in 1919 as a white frame house, became the residence of Dr. Isaac Howard and his family before gaining historic status in 1994.
The museum displays correspondence between Howard and H.P. Lovecraft, along with first editions of works that established the sword and sorcery literary genre.
Visitors need to arrange appointments in advance to tour the museum, except during the annual Howard Days celebration held each June.
The location maintains the original driveway where Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan the Barbarian, ended his life in 1936 following his mother's decline.
