Varner-Hogg Plantation State Historic Site - Historical place in West Columbia - 1702 N 13th St, USA

It's the people...and the place. The experience is made richer by the people you "meet" while walking through the exhibits. They tell the history through the "voices" of those that were there. The large house is unfurnished, but open so you can fill the space with each Era from what you learned through the exhibits.

I rented the Ranger’s Cottage for two days for an adult birthday slumber party. It was fabulous! There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It sleeps 8 and all linens are provided. I highly recommend it for any small gathering. Alexa is very accommodating. ❤️

Nearest historic plantation site from Houston. Not many buildings remaining. Nice quiet poignant site with its history of slavery, sugar plantation and oil fields.

Rich in history. Such an important site to visit in Texas. Kennedy is an amazing tour guide! Kennedy and the archeologist that was on-site helped to connect artifacts, the land and personal stories so that the experiences of our ancestors can be better understood.

Varner-Hogg Plantation's grounds are stunning! The historic information is presented from the lived experiences of the land owners/keepers and the slaves. The presentation of the history is what I liked the most. Also, during the holidays, the home and outbuildings are decorated and allow you to take photos. I recommend visiting this plantation simply because Texas doesn't have many plantations preserved this well, in my opinion.

I love going here! It's always picturesque and perfect for a picnic or a leisurely stroll. Take the tour through "the big house" and check out Mr. Hogg's bath. The upkeep to the property is unmatched and their community festivals are always very enjoyable.

Beautiful place to visit. People are so friendly. When they have vendors and food trucks they are awesome. Watch the calendar for upcoming events that you won't want to miss.

Varner-Hogg Plantation is a must see if you're looking for nice historical sites in Texas to visit. There is so much history here about this plantation and the wealth it produced for Brazoria County with the production of cotton and sugar cane. I highly recommend this place to visit in your travels.
