The Stone Fort Museum
El Camino Real de los Tejas
Join us on a trek across Texas as we explore the origins of the first established road in Texas. Check out the Museum’s new video, El Camino Real de los Tejas. More information.
The campus of Stephen F. Austin State University is home to a fort, and not just any fort. A fort that was a trading post, private home, church, jail, and saloon - but never a fort. A fort that was built three times, and a fort that was torn down by men to be re-erected by women. Read more about the history of the Stone Fort.

Fifth Annual Halloween
Festival
Friday, October 31, 2008
6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
On October 31st, ‘History was Never Scarier’ as the Stone Fort Museum takes you on a journey ‘down the rabbit hole’ and ‘through the looking-glass’. Tours of the building will join Alice on her adventures in a Wonderland invented by Lewis Carroll in 1865. The Mad Hatter & the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat & the Ugly Duchess all await you on this kid-friendly tour of strange characters and fantastic adventures. No ghosts roam through our ‘haunted house’, but there may be some scaredy-cats who wish they could disappear when they meet the Queen of Hearts! Carnival games on the lawn will let you continue the fun with games like flamingo croquet and pin the grin on the Cheshire Cat. Don’t miss your chance to make sense of nonsense on this romp into the past. Festival hours are from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and all activities are free and open to the public.
Admission for individuals is free of charge. Educational programs are by reservation only. Call 936-468-2408 for group rates and more information.
Open Tuesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. Closed Mondays and University Holidays.
From North Street, Business Highway 59, enter Stephen F. Austin State University at Griffith Boulevard. The Museum will be on your left at the intersection of Griffith and Clarke Boulevards. Free parking for visitors is available only on the front and the south sides of the Museum. Paid parking is available in the covered garage across from the Museum.
