REMEMBER ME SEBASTOPOL: Celebrate 150 years of history 
at Sebastopol House ... details on Passport to Texas. (11/3)

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

You don't see many elaborate Greek-Revival homes in 
Texas, which is why the Sebastopol House in Seguin 
draws hundreds of visitors each year to its doors. 

Georgia Ruiz-Davis is Sebastopol site manager.

The house is significant because of the construction method used 
to build it. It's a poured in place, un-reinforced limecrete, which 
is an early form of concrete. It's the best surviving example of 
that type of construction in the American south-west. :12 

Build in 1856, the home celebrates its 150th anniversary 
this month with a tribute to those who made it a 
memorable site. 

Our focus will be a celebration of the house itself, but also of the 
people who passed through there. We want to make it a warm 
celebration. Anything that we can do to kind of foster the 
relationships between the house and the community and 
surrounding communities is one of our main goals. :15

Special guests, plus a unique exhibit, round out the 
afternoon's festivities. 

There will be a brief program. There are representatives from the 
families that have lived in the house. We've got refreshments and 
we also have an exhibit called 'Remember Me.' We're using a few 
objects to tie in the lives of the folks who lived in the house with 
their place in history. :16

Sebastopol's 150th anniversary celebration takes place 
tomorrow, from 4 to 6 p.m. The "Remember Me" exhibit 
runs through May.
