Shary-Shivers Estate
4915 North Shary Road
The estate was built in 1917 by John H. Shary, also known as the father of the Texas Citrus Industry, pioneer developer of the Rio Grande Valley
and of the Intercoastal Canal. In addition to the spacious residence, in which President Eisenhower was a guest in 1953, there is the lovely
Shary Memorial Chapel, where Mr. and Mrs. John Shary are buried.
The park surrounding the chapel is a fitting memorial to the Father of the Texas Citrus Industry. The home later became the Valley residence of
Governor Allen Shivers and Mrs. Shivers, who was the daughter of the Shary’s.
The Shary-Shivers estate has now been given to the University of Texas Pan-American and is open to the public at specific times.
For information call (956) 381-3361.
