About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
I am a happy Texan through and through, mother, master naturalist, artist, farmer and lover of history. I travel every chance I get. When this house came on the market, my husband and I recognized its beauty and importance to our community and American history. We have restored so than we can share it with the public and continue its legacy.

Why they chose this property

This is such a unique property previously owned by a list of interesting people. William Jennings Bryan is the most famous. He is and was such an important person in American history and I was incredibly amazed to learn he had a home here in Mission, TX. Bryan ran for U.S. president 3 times, was Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson, U.S. Senator, orator, publisher, author, leading prosecutor in the Supreme Court Case the Scopes Trial. As a result of Bryan's important role in American history, the house was used for many years to market the benefits of farming in South Texas to northerners looking to farm and settle here .

What makes this property unique

This property sits on a lush corner of South Texas forest and provides a tropical feel to all those who visit. The wildlife on this small lot will surprise visitors with its beautiful birds and wildlife. The house is also decorated with interesting antiques and photos documenting Mission's beginning.
