The Fulton Mansion, a Texas Historical Commission property, sits impressively
overlooking the Aransas Bay and is surrounded by stately oaks. For its time,
this home—with its mansard roof and ornate trim work—was progressive, luxurious
and rare in this part of Texas. Today, it offers a glimpse into the life of an
affluent family in the late 1800s. Learn about George Fulton's engineering
skills, take a walk through Harriet Fulton's gardens and hear stories about
living in this grand Victorian villa, called Oakhurst. Open 10 a.m.–3 p.m.
Tue.–Sat. and 1–3 p.m. Sun. Guided tours offered on the hour. Admission charge.
