Located in Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, The Old Stone Fort Museum is a 1936 replica of a structure erected in 1779 by Nacogdoches militia commander Antonio Gil Y'Barbo. The original building was not actually a fort, but served various purposes until it was demolished hundred years after it was constructed. It was built of native iron ore as a mercantile house owned by Antonio Gil Y'Barbo. The structure changed hands several times until it was dismantled in 1902. The building was known as the Stone House because of its iron-brick construction. The replica was erected to serve as a museum that provides historic exhibits.
