Experience the Beautiful Outdoors With McGee’s Landing in Hemphill, TX
McGee's Landing was founded by Joseph Bryant McGee, Jr. and Violet Doreen Latham McGee. The McGee's main house was originally located where McGee Flats are now. Before the Toledo Bend Lake filled up, they moved their home and farm from the Sabine River bottom to the existing location. Shortly after the lake filled up, the McGees decided to build the marina that included a boat ramp, pier, store, sheds for camping, and the R.V. park. The park has remained in operation for over 50 years.
In an effort to keep the park going as a family business, Lindsay McGee Toner and Jodie McGee Wilson (granddaughters of J.B. and Doreen McGee) began making upgrades to the park in 2016.
It has been operated over the years by J.B. & Doreen McGee, then Bernice Latham Craft (sister of Doreen Latham McGee), followed by Billy Joe McGee (son of J.B. and Doreen McGee), then by Kelly and Glenda Craft Keller (son-in-law and daughter of Bernice Latham Craft), Melissa McGee Munguia and Jodie McGee Wilson (granddaughters of J.B. and Doreen McGee and daughters of Billy Joe McGee)
The house shown in the SRA pictures is the same house currently on the south end of JB Lane. The cross timbers or beams beneath the house and the 1"x12" pine sideboards were taken from Joseph Bryant McGee and Nora Lula America Norris McGee's home, which was torn down. A rendition of that home was painted and hangs on the wall in the home now. The previous home had a dog run through the middle of the house and faced East on the old home site. John Henry Latham (Doreen McGee's Father), JB McGee, Fred Smith, and Lynn Smith (friends of the family) built the current home that was originally located on McGee Flats. The kitchen cabinets were built by Buster Latham (Doreen Latham McGee's half-brother). After the house, barn, and shed were moved from McGee flats, Roland McGee added the bathroom to the house. In the late 70s, the laundry room was added to the house.
