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 brought our bikes up from Dallas and really enjoyed the trail. When we started at 9:30 there were very few people for such a beautiful day. Riding the trail with the creek on the left it takes you to some softball fields where we stopped a watched a bit of a game. Took the other trail with the creek on the right. Really great! Trail had a few large puddles but plenty of trail to get around. Stopped at an old cemetery with some veterans and continued along creek until we came to some natural stairs, set our bikes down and hiked a bit. It was a really easy trail to ride. Wish we would have walked our bikes up the stairs to ride more of the trail but daughter was already too tired to move on. There are historical markers along trail and of course really nice outdoorsy people to say hello to.
