Woodland, Historic house in Huntsville, United States.

Woodland is a 1+1⁄2-story log house finished in wooden clapboards under a gabled roof, built as a dogtrot: a central breezeway flanked by rectangular log chambers, with brick chimneys at the ends. A shed-roof porch on square posts runs in front of the breezeway, and a winding staircase inside it leads to loft bedrooms. It stands on the 15-acre Sam Houston Memorial Museum grounds at the southeast corner of the Sam Houston State University campus.

The house was built in 1847 and served as the residence of Sam Houston, a leader of the Texas Revolution and former president of the Republic of Texas. This connection to a significant historical figure makes the building an important record of that period.

The name Woodland comes from the wooded setting of the 15-acre museum grounds. The house is the centrepiece of the Sam Houston Memorial Museum, and visitors can also see a reconstructed kitchen outbuilding and the restored cabin Houston used as a law office.

Woodland stands at the southeast corner of the Sam Houston State University campus in Huntsville, within the 15-acre Sam Houston Memorial Museum grounds. The museum property also holds a reconstructed kitchen outbuilding and the restored cabin Houston used as a law office, so allow time to walk between them.

The breezeway holds a winding staircase to loft bedrooms, and the house's front and back were apparently reversed in later alterations. A reconstructed kitchen outbuilding and the restored cabin Houston used as a law office stand alongside it.
