From 1838 to 1855, Sam Houston practiced law in Liberty, maintaining
an office on this site across from the Courthouse Square. Houston's
other activities in Liberty County included his attendance at worship
services of the Concord Baptist Church (Grand Cane), of which his
wife, Margaret Lea Houston, was one of the founders in 1845. Sam
Houston's activities in Liberty County took place while he was serving
in various leadership roles for Texas, including President of the
Republic of Texas (1836-1838, 1841-1844) and as the first United
States Senator for the newly-annexed state of Texas (1846-1859).
He has been honored in Liberty County by the naming of Sam Houston
Avenue and the Sam Houston Regional Library and Research Center.
