Varner–Hogg Plantation State Historical Site
Varner–Hogg Plantation State Historical Site, Greek Revival plantation in West Columbia, Texas.
The Varner-Hogg Plantation spans 66 acres with Varner Creek running through the property, featuring a restored mansion and agricultural buildings.
Martin Varner established the plantation in 1824 through Mexican land grants from Stephen F. Austin, developing it from a log cabin into a substantial estate.
The plantation house displays different rooms themed to represent various periods of Texas history, preserving agricultural and social developments of the region.
Admission costs range from 5 dollars for children between 6 and 17 years to 10 dollars for adults, with special rates for seniors and veterans.
Former Texas Governor James Hogg purchased the property in 1902 for oil production, transforming the agricultural land into an industrial resource site.
