McKinney Homestead, Historic limestone homestead in Travis County, United States.
The McKinney Homestead features a two-story limestone structure with three rooms on each floor and covered porches on both levels.
Thomas F. McKinney constructed this residence between 1850 and 1852, using limestone from Onion Creek and local cypress and cedar wood materials.
The property stands as an example of agricultural settlement patterns in Travis County, demonstrating the architectural methods of early Texas pioneers.
Visitors can explore the preserved stone ruins by following the designated Homestead Trail within McKinney Falls State Park.
Archaeological studies in 1974 revealed that the house remained continuously inhabited until a fire destroyed it in the 1940s.
