Goodman – Legrand Historical House Tyler TX

March 22 - We were up at 6:00am and had everything ready to leave by  7: 20am. The trip into Tyler and to   Southern RV Supercenter took some time due to the early morning work traffic. We dropped of the RV at 8:15am for the living-room slide cable replacement which took until noon.


We from a place to fuel up the truck for $4.09/gal. The went for breakfast at The Cracker Barrel. As usual we ate too much.






We had time to put in and a what a better place to visit is the Goodman-LeGrand House and Museum. www.goodmanmuseum.com .  The house dates back to 1859, before the Civil War. And had two owners before Dr. Samuel Goodman moved to Tyler from South Carolina.

12 Piece setting of hand painted Limoges China do by Sally herself.

There were three children who raised and lived there. The eldest daughter, Sally Goodman-LeGrand, was the last of the family to live in this mansion.

When she past away in 1939, she left the house with all the contents to the City of Tyler for a museum and with the request that the upkeep will be done so tourists can learn of the history of it. Sally kept a journal, a good account of the family's life.
