Historic House

The Fulton Mansion is an 1870s French Second Empire Historic House museum constructed by George and Harriet Fulton. It is a wonderful and unique site for its unusual construction method, modern mechanical systems, and architecture. The site is owned and operated by the Texas Historical Commission. We also receive support from our non-profit friends group, the Friends of Fulton Mansion.

History, Specialized

Our purpose is to offer a variety of experiences to adults and children by collecting, preserving, and interpreting items of historical interest and to recount Texas maritime history through artifacts, documents, and other materials of historical value; and to exhibit them to further the public interest, knowledge, and appreciation of such materials and their historical significance.

Our vision is to serve as the premier repository of Texas Maritime history and to continually increase public interest, visitation, and the education of our children.
