Step back in time at the French Legation State Historic Site, a unique gem nestled in East Austin that beautifully showcases Texas history with a French twist. Built in 1841 as a diplomatic outpost, this remarkable home was designed for Alphonse Dubois, France’s chargé d'affaires to the Republic of Texas. Today, the original frame structure stands as one of Austin’s oldest buildings, inviting exploration and curiosity.
- Historic Ambiance: Stroll across two and a half acres of lush lawns shaded by native trees and framed by formal gardens.
- Fascinating Exhibits: Discover the rich story of Texas’ early days, international diplomacy, and the diverse communities that shaped East Austin.
- Period Museum: The house and its detached Creole kitchen immerse visitors in 19th-century life, complete with furnishings and interpretive panels.
- Community Gathering Space: Locals and travelers alike enjoy picnicking on the grounds, special events, and guided tours that bring history to life.
- Modern Amenities: ADA access, a charming gift shop, on-site café, and plenty of parking make each visit easy and enjoyable.
