It is the only original building of a university chartered by the Republic of Texas still standing and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been in continuous use for school purposes except for two years during and after the Civil War. The building was then used as a hospital and quarters for Confederate soldiers. Now it is a museum and contains period furnishings and artifacts from its earlier days.

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.

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.
