Great little side trip if you are staying in the Corpus Christi area. A beautiful mansion located right on the bay. They have done a wonderful job restoring this. There is an education center you park at and get your tickets. There is a lot of info there about the Fulton family and the history of the area at the time the mansion was built. Then you walk over to the mansion. It was staffed by a lovely volunteer. They give you a laminated information page for you to do a self guided tour. I wish I had a more detailed tour guide though as I had several questions that were not on the guide. The volunteer was able to answer them when I went back to talk to her. It also so interesting to learn of the history of the mansion between the years the Fulton family had it and it was acquired by the state. I definitely recommend checking it out!

I was only able to see the outside because they stop selling tickets at 3:15 pm… I arrived at 3:25 pm. I was really excited to see this historical site, but I understand there are rules. I should have planned better. Hopefully I can visit another time in the future. It was interesting just seeing the outside. I’m happy I at least got to walk the property. It’s very pretty. From what I read online, they are open everyday except Monday, tickets are $7 per person and from my personal experience today, they stop selling tickets 45 minutes prior to closing. See you next time, Fulton Mansion.

What a beautiful historic museum to visit while in Rockport. This place is gently priced with great staff to answer questions and guide you through. Gorgeous home has been restored and you get a laminated sheet of information to point out items of interest while visiting each room. The small museum area has a quaint gift shop and has some interactive exhibits to keep you interested in following the Fulton family story. Make sure to drive around the other side of the museum to see where a historical hurricane repositioned a large windmill into a tree!

It was my first time visiting a historic mansion and I really enjoyed the furnishings and preservation of period prices. Very informative and friendly docents. The house seemed to be frozen in time it was so beautiful, like the family was still living there. It reminded me a little bit of the Carousel of Progress in DisneyWorld with how detailed and true to the period the home was restored to. You can tell a lot of love was put into the preservation. Must see.

My husband and I are on vacation in Rockport, visiting from Austin. We were looking for something to do since the weather had turned a little cooler. We decided to go check out this place. It was very interesting. The mansion is beautiful! We both enjoyed looking at everything. The lady working there is very sweet and had a lot to tell us about the history the house. We recommend going by to take a look around.
