Own a piece of Vice-Presidential history in the small town where it began. This 1800s-era home in Detroit, Texas carries a genuine connection to John Nance Garner — ”Cactus Jack” — the 32nd Vice President of the United States and former Speaker of the House, who was born and raised in this Red River County community. A Recorded Texas Historic Landmark marker honors that history in town today.
The home offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and awaits a full restoration — a rare opportunity for a preservation-minded buyer to bring an authentic piece of American political history back to life. Priced at $95,000, with the seller open to creative financing arrangements.
