Christmas at the Charles Bright Visitors Center
 Be sure to stop by and see us while you’re in town. The lobby is currently adorned with nine Christmas trees, each decorated beautifully in tribute to the nine different flags that have flown over Nacogdoches.A new holiday display also will be available in December highlighting the “Matriarchs of Nacogdoches” – women who have played major roles in the development of Texas’ oldest town both past and present. The display is located in the center’s first-floor board room and is free to view.
Don’t forget to bring spare change! We now have a pressed penny machine with four different Nacogdoches souvenir designs.
There’s also a special mailbox outside by the front door where children can mail letters to Santa at the North Pole throughout the holiday season.
The center is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday.
