    Old Fort in the middle of SFA University
    Built around the late 1700s as a Spanish Colonial home. It was built of stone, by Antonio Gil Y'Barbo, to found the community of Nacogdoches. But, because of the owner's civil and Militia authority it became, a more public property, withstanding 4 revolutionary actions, earning the name, " the old stone fort!" It has been a home for soldiers, a church, a trading post, and later a saloon. But it was demolished in 1902. It was rebuilt in 1936, as a museum, providing historic exhibits on the SFA campus. They are closed on Mondays and holidays. 9-5 Tuesday- Saturday. Sunday 1-5 pm.

    If you're interested in local history, this is just for you.
    I always want to know how and why something came to be. Nacogdoches is the "oldest town in Texas". Here a person can find out about local Native American and settlers interactions as well as how this historic "fort" (boarding house/hotel) came to be located on the campus of Stephen F Austin. State University. My father-in-law and I enjoyed it. My college-age daughter was "finished finished in five minutes. I guess it depends.
