Gonzales, Texas
On Sunday, April 25,
1999, the Gonzales Chapter, Gonzales, presented to The Daughters
of the Republic of Texas a deed of property to the J. B. Wells
House, Gonzales. President General Tookie Walthall accepted the
gift on behalf of The Daughters.
This home was built in
1885 and retains much history of the early years of Texas.
Original furnishings continue to grace the fifteen rooms of the
interior surroundings. The structure consists of Florida
long-leaf pine lumber delivered from the port of Indianola by
oxen to Gonzales.
Maintenance is totally
under the care of the Gonzales Chapter with no cost to The
Daughters.
Tours are directed upon
request. You may find the house open to the public around the
weekend of October 2, celebrating Come and Take It Days, and
during the Christmas holiday seasons.
