All are invited to join the Sam Houston Center for free holiday activities for all ages, including sweet treats and hot cocoa, caroling, glittering holiday decorations and multiple opportunities to take your own photographs at the Jean and Price Daniel Home on the Center’s grounds, which will be decorated for the holiday season.

The Jean and Price Daniel Home and Archives, completed in 1983 and patterned after the Texas Governor's Mansion in Austin, sits on land donated by the Daniels for the Center. The house preserves and displays the library, archives, furniture and mementos documenting the lives and public service of Governor and Mrs. Price Daniel. Gov. Daniel was born in nearby Dayton in 1910; Jean Houston Baldwin Daniel was the great-great-granddaughter of Sam Houston.
