Casa Navarro: National Historic Home & Museum

The National Park Service has designated the Texas Historical Commission's Casa Navarro State Historic Site as a National Historic Landmark. The National Park Service deemed Casa Navarro nationally significant as the home of Tejano statesman and historian José Antonio Navarro (1795-1871).

Today, Casa Navarro is the best-preserved historic property in its original location directly associated with Navarro. Located in a San Antonio neighborhood once known as Laredito, or Little Laredo, Casa Navarro consists of three contributing buildings—Navarro’s house constructed in the 1850s, and a free-standing kitchen constructed in the 1830s, as well as a two-story mercantile and office building, also constructed in the 1850s
