About Millard’s Crossing​
​
No visit to the oldest town in Texas is complete without a tour of Millard’s Crossing Historic Village. We invite you to experience our interactive, engaging, and educational guided tours. Guided tours are available by reservation, and walk-in visitors are welcome when a volunteer guide is available. Each tour is thoughtfully tailored to the ages and interests of our guests to ensure a meaningful experience. Self-guided tour maps are available in the Visitor’s Center.​
The charming reconstructed historic village in Nacogdoches is a unique museum complex that highlights the rich architectural heritage of 19th-century East Texas, featuring everything from rustic log cabins to elegant Victorian homes, lovingly restored by Lera Millard Thomas. Here, visitors can explore early building, antiques, and memorabilia that tell the story of our past and celebrate the remarkable legacy created by the first Congress Woman from Texas to serve in the United States of America.​
Dedicated to preserving history and heritage, Millard’s Crossing Historic Village brings the past to life through its restored buildings and interactive exhibits. Our mission is to educate and inspire visitors of all ages about our rich cultural legacy of this region. Join us in our efforts to safeguard our history for future generations.​​
