Mission Tejas State Park is a 363.5-acre (147.1 ha) state park located along Texas Highway 21 in Houston County, Texas, originally constructed in 1935 and transferred to Texas Parks and Wildlife in 1957. The closest major town is Crockett, Texas. The park is open year round.
Features
The main feature of the park is the commemorative replica of the first Spanish Mission in East Texas, the Mission San Francisco de los Tejas. The park also contains one of the oldest surviving buildings in Houston County, the Rice Family Log Home. Originally constructed from 1828 to 1838, the building was moved to the park in 1974. The park also contains 15 developed campsites and 2 primitive camping sites. Other features include a small pond, and approximately 4.5 miles of hiking trails. Much of the park infrastructure was originally constructed by Company 888 of the Civilian Conservation Corps.
