Millard’s Crossing has over a dozen period homes, a schoolhouse and a church from the early days of Nacogdoches. The buildings and grounds are well kept by volunteers. What impressed me the most was many of the items that were on display in the buildings. I have been to many antique stores and museums and Millard’s Crossing had quite a few items that I had never seen before. A very worthwhile stop when in Nacogdoches.

We stopped by on a rainy afternoon and the tour guide was so kind and patient with our 7 year old who asks a lot of questions. The house is well kept with plenty of parking. It the parking lot is a historical monument about the New Orleans regiment that fought and died at the Alamo and Goliad. Huge wealth of history here.

If you haven’t been to the Ruby Mize Azalea Gardens before, I highly recommend you go! It’s so beautiful in the Spring when the azaleas are blooming, but it’s also beautiful in the Fall. Lots of photo opportunities, and a great place to get some fresh air and exercise.
5. Nacogdoches Visitor's Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 169 reviews
The Historic Town Center/Visitor Center, located on the square, was built in 1917 as the city’s post office and later served as the public library. In 1996, tourism left the umbrella of the Chamber of Commerce to start what is now the Nacogdoches Convention and Visitors Bureau. Here you can view exhibits of early Nacogdoches, watch the video on Nacogdoches and pick up additional literature on the town. Services are also available for small to medium size groups looking to bring meetings or event to the area. Restroom facilities are available.

This was one of the cleanest, friendliest, most personable visitor centers I have been in in awhile. The bathrooms were spotless, the complementary coffee was welcomed on a cold day, and all of the staff helped with fantastic suggestions for restaurants, places to see, and directions for places I was looking for. A special thank you to Ashley Morgan for answering so many questions with so much grace. Definitely a place I will visit again.
