Durst-Taylor Historic House and Gardens
The Durst-Taylor Historic House and Gardens is a circa 1835 wood-frame house and is the second oldest building in Nacogdoches. The house sits very close to the intersection of the old El Camino Real de los Tejas and La Calle del Norte and was home to many early businessmen, bankers, and political leaders including Thomas J. Rusk, Bennett Blake and William Ochiltree. This hands-on museum includes a fully functioning smokehouse, blacksmith shop and chicken coop as well as heirloom gardens and a sugarcane mill. Your tour of Durst-Taylor will start in the barn, where you can view the museum exhibit that shares information about each of the families that have lived in the house. City of Nacogdoches Historic Sites are open and free to the public. (donations appreciated)
