Magoffin Home

One of Texas' best-kept secrets, this El Paso landmark was built in 1875 for Joseph Magoffin, an early El Paso politician and businessman. With 4ft-thick adobe walls and many original furnishings, the home is a fine example of the Southwest territorial style of architecture prevalent during the late 19th century. Self-guided and guided tours are available (check the website for guided tour times, which vary daily).
