Over on SecondShelters.com, we’re featuring a property in La Grange that could be both a second home and an income property – and it boasts some of the richest connections to pre-state Texas history we’ve seen in quite some time.

The Brookfield-Evans-Cremer House was home to an Alamo hero, a couple of heroes from the Battle of San Jacinto, and was a proposed site for the capital of Texas. And of course, nowadays it would make a perfect getaway for all those fun things to do in and near La Grange – Round Top, kayaking and more!
