The Burrows House, built in 1867, was originally located where Nacogdoches Medical Center now stands, about 1/2 mile south of Millard's Crossing. The style of this house is so typical of this area that it is often called "The East Texas House".

​

Because of the long enclosed entryway, some observers assume that it was once a dog trot. However, the two rooms and fireplace in back comprised the original house, while the front two rooms were added several years later to provide a parlor with a separate entrance so guests could be ushered into the "good room". The home also features a well on the back porch - a real convenience in the 19th century!

Tools of a Medical Doctor and an in-home pharmacy are on display in the Burrows House, including vintage wheelchairs, exam table, medical illustrations, medical instruments and more!
