French Legation Museum

802 San Marcos (map) (512) 472-8180

We invite you to take a trip back to a living part of Texas history. The French Legation was originally built by the French diplomat to The Republic of Texas, Alphonse Dubois de Saligny. In 1956, the home became a museum under the custodianship of The Daughters of The Republic of Texas. Today, the Museum is devoted to sharing the site’s past and rich cultural history of Texas with the public.
