This Republic of Texas Homestead was established when the log cabin on the property was built in 1836 , the same year that Texas declared independence from Mexico! The main house was started 6 years later by the Cavitt family and eventually served as a stage stop between Nacogdoches and San Antonio de Bexar during the 1840?s and 50?s. The Cavitts were political followers and friends of President Sam Houston, a friend and frequent visitor at the home.
