The Historic Faison Home

The Historic N.W. Faison House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offers a glimpse into Texas life from the 1870s to the early 1900s through its antique furnishings and artifacts. Visitors can explore stories of pioneer settlement, race relations, and the experiences of affluent Texans in the Gilded Age through a self-guided video tour highlighting notable figures such as Nathaniel W. Faison and Louisiana Brown.

This historic site not only showcases the challenges and triumphs of its residents but also emphasizes the significant contributions of the African American community in the region. The African American exhibit provides insights into the lives of individuals like Louisiana Brown, one of the first freedwomen in Texas to own property, illustrating her resilience in overcoming societal obstacles.
