THE 1859 GOODMANLEGRAND HOUSE & MUSEUM
624 N. Broadway Ave.
(903) 531-1286
pheaton@tylertexas.com
www.goodmanmuseum.com
The Goodman-LeGrand Museum was
the first property in Smith County to
be listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. It has been a Texas
Historic Landmark since 1964.
The home was built in 1859 on the
highest point of a nine acre tract of land.
It was originally a one-story, four-room
house for Samuel Gallatin Smith. When
the Civil War broke out in 1861, he sold
the house to the Franklin N. Gary family.
After the war, in 1866, Dr. Samuel
Adams Goodman purchased the house.
His son, Dr. William Jeffries Goodman,
a local doctor and Civil War surgeon,
bought the house from his father and
moved in with his new bride, Mary
Priscilla Gaston Goodman, in 1867. The
Goodman family made the house their
home for 72 years and four generations.
Dr. Goodman’s oldest daughter, Sallie,
married James H. LeGrand in 1893,
and he moved into her family home at
that time. Sallie inherited the house in
1921, and upon her death in 1939, she
bequeathed the estate to the City of Tyler
to be open as a museum. Much of what
we know about the home and its past
residents come from the diaries kept by
Sallie. The diaries recount tales about
guests who stayed at the house, and
they describe elegant social parties and
receptions held for politicians.
Historical
records
show
that
the Goodman-LeGrand House has
undergone a number of renovations. The
second story was added around 1880. In
1926, the house was transformed from
a Texas Colonial/Italianate architectural
style to a Classic/Greek Revival style
with projecting circular porticos and
two-story columns. The last major
restoration took place in 2010-2011.
Furnished with the original belongings
of the Goodman and LeGrand families,
the Goodman-LeGrand Museum offers
visitors a chance to view such items
as antique hand carved furniture, a
grandfather clock from the colonial era,
fine silver and hand painted Limoges
china, vintage clothing, medical
reference books that date back to the late
1700’s, surgical tools from the Civil War,
original paintings and photographs, and
many other rare and interesting items on
display. The home is a delight for antique
lovers and history buffs alike!
Improvements to The GoodmanLeGrand Museum Grounds: The Tyler
Parks and Recreation Department, in
partnership with Keep Tyler Beautiful,
are planning many improvements to the
nine-acre LeGrand Park and Gardens
that surround the Goodman-LeGrand
Museum. Brand new in March 2009, is
the Chamblee Rose Garden, which is
the world’s first certified Earth-kind™
garden. The master plan for other
improvements will include replanting
the historic gardens with rose bushes,
walking paths and camellias for which
Sallie Goodman LeGrand was well
known. It also includes restoring the
old greenhouse, planning for bird and
butterfly gardens, and rebuilding replicas
of historic outbuildings.
Hours of Operation: The museum is
open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through
Saturday. Admission is free. However,
we suggest a minimum donation of $2
per person. For tour groups of 10 or
more people, a minimum $2 donation
per person shall be requested. Also,
tour groups should schedule their tour
date and time in advance. The museum
may be rented for meetings and bridal
portraits or other photo shoots. The
LeGrand Park is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
daily. Also, the park and gardens may be
rented for special events.

ROSE HILL MAUSOLEUM
HONOR THE MEMORIES
Rose Hill Mausoleum offers beautiful resting places to honor those who
have passed away. Located at 2400
S. Donnybrook Avenue, adjacent to
South Broadway Avenue, the Rose Hill
Mausoleum stands as an architectural
masterpiece. The Mausoleum is constructed of Italian granite and sits atop
a gentle rolling hill that complements
tyler parks
and blends with the overall design.
When entering the mausoleum, you
are met with a calm sense of beauty
and serenity. The main entrance opens
to an air-conditioned Chapel with
granite faced crypts on both sides.
After passing through the glass doors
on the rear wall, visitors encounter the
Atrium Court where a large skylight
illuminates four benches surrounding the Tree of Life. This area offers a
quiet place to meditate and reflect. The
west wall of the Atrium Court features
a computerized directory which allows
visitors to locate the burial place of any
individual in Rose Hill Cemetery or
Mausoleum.
Please visit us or call (903) 5311207 for pricing information. Proceeds
from the sale of Rose Hill Mausoleum
spaces are used to create a perpetual
care trust fund, which provides for the
continuing maintenance of the Rose
Hill Cemetery, as well as Oakwood
Cemetery and Westview Cemetery.
The Rose Chapel may be rented
for memorial services for a fee of
$25 per hour (two-hour minimum).
A biography of the deceased may be
installed on the computerized directory
located in the Atrium Court for a fee
of $35. A biography with a picture of
the deceased may be installed on the
directory for a fee of $50.
Rose Hill Cemetery and Mausoleum
are owned and maintained by the
City of Tyler Parks and Recreation
Department. For more information,
please call us at (903) 531-1207.
The City also maintains Historic
Oakwood Cemetery, located at the

than 2,000 inscribed monuments. The
cemetery is the burial place of Tyler’s
early settlers and merchants. There are
231 graves of unknown Confederate
Soldiers, plus more than 70 marked
Confederate graves. The cemetery has
one or two burials each year and has
limited availability.
Westview is the city’s other
cemetery. Westview Cemetery, 3200
W. Erwin St., consists of five acres.
Several years ago fire destroyed all of
