But as of late the Texas Historical Commission has dumped a buttload of money into the place. In 2018 they opened a new museum there and this September they will have the grand opening of the newly reconstructed city block as it was before the conflagration. There will be the Farmer Hotel and restaurant complete with bricked basement ( as mention in the de la Peña diary of his visit there in 1834). The school, printers shop, courthouse, and several small homes. All built out of locally available lumber and such. Celia’s brick oven is there too!

This recreation is just away from the original townsite by a few 100 yds or so.
