Review & FAQ:
Nacogdoches University was chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas to fulfill the need of east Texas settler for higher education. The university occupied many downtown buildings before its own building, today called The Old University Building, was completed, just in time for classes in fall 1859. During the civil war the building served as a hospital and later as a headquarters for a federal regiment. The building was deeded in 1904 to the Nacogdoches independent school district. It continued to be used as an educational facility until the Nacogdoches historical society took charge in 1960s. Today the structure is used for community functions and serves as a museum of 19th century education, a Confederate Hospital, and community events.
