	The home and museum is located on a 130 acre park.
Located in southern Wilson County, the Dewees Remschel Home was willed to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Washington, D.C. by Claribel Dewees Remschel, a direct descendent of the original owners of the ranch. The NTHP felt the home was too difficult to manage from Washington, D.C. and transferred the title to the Wilson County Historical Society.
	The home is located five miles southwest of Poth, off of FM 541 and CR 206. It was originally built by Dr. R. T. Knox in Gonzales, Texas. It was moved to the present site and renovated in 1997.
The museum documents the Dewees Ranch history and its contributions to early ranching in Texas. Photo: Pony Express delivers Governor Perry's Christmas Greeting to Dewees.
