Mary Christian Burleson Foundation

A group of everyday folks just like you are working together to preserve the oldest home in Elgin and an invaluable piece of Texas history. Our goal is to turn the homestead into a community gathering spot, cultural center, and an event space that encourages stay and play visitors in Elgin and funds the organization. The 1847 homestead is a symbol of Mary Christian Burleson's enduring legacy and with your help we can tell the story of this land and all its people. Help us bring the story to life.
