Denison Points of Interest

The Thomas V Munson Home was built by world-famed scientist T.V. Munson. Munson built this Victorian home of brick with wood trim in 1887. An 1888 guest in the house was French Minister of Agriculture, who came here to give Munson (as reward for saving vineyards in France) the Medal of French Legion of Honor. Munson is most famous for saving the wine vineyards in France by helping Europe deal with their vineyard-destroying phylloxera crisis. There is a little bit of Denison in every sip of French wine today. Unfortunately there are rarely tours of the home, but if you are heading to Denison, it is worth a drive-by.
