Lera Millard Thomas, a proud native of Nacogdoches, made history as the first woman from Texas to serve in the U.S. Congress after being elected to complete her late husband Albert Thomas's term. Following his passing in 1966, she returned to her roots in 1968 and dedicated herself to a remarkable preservation project. Lera worked tirelessly to save some of the county's most cherished historic structures while creating a home for her extensive antique collection. Her legacy continues to inspire the community and highlights the importance of preserving local history.​
