The Republic of Texas History Center is the Daughters’ new headquarters and so much more. Located in the heart of the Robertson Hill neighborhood, adjacent to the French Legation State Historic Site, the Republic of Texas History Center offers the public a Texas genealogical research facility, a professionally redesigned Republic of Texas Museum, and a spacious event venue.
