This film was originally made in 1943 by the Austin Chamber of Commerce and all the rights transferred to the Austin History Center in 2006. The film highlights a wide array of city landmarks, including the Texas State Capitol, University of Texas Tower, the Moonlight Towers, Zilker Park, and Barton Springs. By following the Smiths, new residents of Austin, the film also visits many of the city's main attractions, including several museums, Treaty Oak, and a Longhorn football game. An overview of Austin's government and healthcare buildings, as well as the lakes along the Colorado River, is also included. The film was preserved and digitized in 2008 and made possible by a Partnership Grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation. Run time: 31 minutes (color)
