3. Sam Bell Maxey State Historic House Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 35 reviews
In 1868, Samuel Bell Maxey and his family moved into their fashionable new home on the south side of Paris, Texas. Built in the High Italianate style, the two-story frame structure was a proper home for the West Point-educated Mexican War veteran, Confederate general, and two-term U.S. senator. Maxey and his wife Matilda hosted many distinguished guests and the house soon became the town's social center. Today, the home showcases original family furnishings, clothing, and letters, which provide visual voices for three successive generations.

This is not an overly large museum but interesting just the same. My grandchildren even enjoyed it. I believe they add artifacts pretty often. I’ve visited 3-4 times over the last few years and always see something new.

There's a wealth of information here and wonderful artifacts/collections to view... and very helpful staff. But, also go down a couple of doors in the same railroad depot building to check out the Genealogical Society. Their records and staff are impressive... so helpful with Paris history and genealogical research!
