History

The Flower Hill Urban Homestead 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 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 Foundation is striving to open our doors by Fall of 2019.

Specialties

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.
