History
Millard's Crossing Historic Village is a 37-acre (14.97 ha; 0.06 sq mi) living history site established by Lera Millard Thomas in the 1970s. The Village sits on land which belonged to the Millard family, and on which Thomas grew up.[1] The Village began in 1966 as a project restoration of a singular Victorian house by Thomas, who was the widow of Congressman Albert Richard Thomas. From that one house, Thomas began restoring other structures of East Texas architecture.[2] The Village borders on a railroad track, and is home to a restored red train caboose. There are also log cabins and other restored Victorian architecture in the Village. Of note on the property is the Millard-Lee House which Thomas restored. The house is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and was built c.1837 by Robert G. Millard. The house was purchased by David Lee in 1859.[3]
