The Tolar House







Welcome to the Tolar House. It was built in 1866 as a present to his wife. After they left he passed the house to his daughters who ran it as a "along the way" bed and breakfast. Up until the mid 1900s people travelling on horseback or Model Ts in rural Texas could pull up to this rustic cabin and get served a meal prepared over a fire then a night's sleep before hitting the road again. It was moved to the Heritage Village Museum in Woodville, TX, where it sits today still taking on travellers (though not overnight).
