The Magoffin Home Restoration

  • West Texas Heritage Center 201 East San Antonio Avenue El Paso, TX, 79901 United States (map)
Join  Preservation Texas for an evening lecture with Danielle Brissette, site  manager of the Magoffin Home State Historic Site, who will share a  behind-the-walls look at one of El Paso’s most significant restoration  projects. 

Built in 1875—before the railroad reached El Paso—the  Magoffin Home is a rare survivor of the city’s adobe era and a witness  to over a century of Southwestern history. Three generations of the  Magoffin family shaped and were shaped by regional politics, commerce,  military service, faith, and civic life. Brissette will share the vision  and plans for the site’s $4.1 million restoration, funded by the Texas  Historical Commission and the State of Texas, revealing how this  meticulous project will safeguard not just a historic structure, but an  enduring story still unfolding.

The event will be held on Friday, August 15 from 5:30-7:00pm at our West Texas Heritage Center at 201 E. San Antonio Avenue.
