At Texas Historical Commission sites across the state, you can step back into history. This week, tours and hands-on activities will demonstrate how Texans of the past spent their daily lives at these state historic sites.
From ornate Victorian mansions to everyday inns, frontier forts to 20th-century leaders’ homes, there’s a state historic site to fit every interest.
While you’re traveling through Texas’ past, don’t forget the thriving present! Many heritage travel destinations are near historic downtown districts, where you can dine or shop at local businesses that make their communities unique. See the full range of programs on our website:
