Levi Jordan Plantation & Varner-Hogg Plantation Virtual Book Club

Join us on Zoom on January 29 at 6 pm for the first Levi Jordan Plantation & Varner-Hogg Plantation Virtual Book Club. This discussion will be about Ima Hogg: The Governor's Daughter by Virginia Bernhard.


This is the story of Ima Hogg, the only daughter of Governor James Stephen Hogg. Ima was born in 1882 and died in 1975 at the age of 93, and she became a legend in her own right. Ima attended the University of Texas, studied music in New York City, and was a beneficiary of her father’s investment in the oil boom in West Columbia, Texas. Ima devoted much of her life to the enrichment of the educational and cultural life of Texas and gave her house and Early American art and furniture collection at the Varner-Hogg Plantation State Historic Site to the people of Texas in 1958.
