Durst-Taylor officially opens doors


The Durst-Taylor Historic House and Gardens, located on 304 N. St., is now officially open to the public!
The museum will operate the same hours as the Sterne-Hoya Musuem, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free, but donations are welcome.
The ca. 1835 wood frame house is interpreted to the 1840 to 1860 time period when the property was owned by the Blackburn family. It is the second oldest strucure still standing on its original site in Nacogdoches.
Visitors start tours of the historical site at the Visitors' Center/Barn before being guided through the property, which also includes a blacksmith shop, smokehouse, and heritage gardens.
