Nacogdoches lost an important feature after Hurricane Rita. The historic oak tree in front of the Old North Church was destroyed. You can own the limited edition print by Ron Wells that shows the tree and church in its glory days. Learn more about the historic tree here. As early as 1832, settlers in the Nacogdoches area met and worshipped under this historic post oak tree. Immediately after word of Santa Anna's defeat reached the settlers, Elder Isaac Reed, a Missionary Baptist who had come to Nacogdoches from Tennessee in 1834, preached the first Baptist sermon in the shade of this tree. In October of that year, the settlers erected a log schoolhouse near the tree and named it “Liberty School House” to commemorate their battle for freedom from Mexican rule. This is said to be the first Protestant school in Texas.
