Fulton Mansion is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Located in Aransas County in the small town of Rockport, about 35 miles north of Corpus Christi, the 2.7-acre coastal site was set aside as a public place for two reasons. First, the combination of architectural style, construction techniques and technological introductions used in the structure were rare on the Coastal Plains. Secondly, the structure’s integrity made restoration feasible. The purpose has evolved to encompass more than the structure and its grounds. Fulton Mansion is the story of an upper-middle class Victorian family, who with support from staff, lived and prospered in a coastal Texas region. Fulton Mansion is also the story of the importance of preserving history, heritage and culture.
Fulton Mansion State Historic Site is a
