San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site

History of an 18-minute battle… We went to this historical place this past weekend and spent three hours exploring. Located inside the base of the monument, the museum preserves pioneer items, documents, and weapons from the Texas Revolution. We watched a film covering the battle of San Jacinto and Texas history. After taking the elevator to the top, we enjoyed breathtaking views of the battlefiel...

After taking the elevator to the top, we enjoyed breathtaking views of the battlefield from the observation deck. The reflecting pool is lined with walking paths, perfect for photography and enjoying the view up close. To better understand the area, we did a self-guided driving tour of the historical markers. During sunset, the light and shadows enhance the beauty of the monument. The staff members are really welcoming and friendly. The museum's gift shop offers a beautiful selection of souvenirs.

Finally made it here and wasn't disappointed, not a very appealing area until you finally arrive at the Park... very interesting Museum with lots of exhibits, artifacts and theatre showing a very good 30+ minute film on the history of Texas.

Took the elevator to the top of the Monument, not much to see up there, small room with a few windows but nice views of the local surroundings (unfortunately a lot of it is just industrial area) but still worth taking the ride up. Discounted admission for Seniors and Veterans, definitely worth a stop by if in the area to learn about Texas history.

This is a MUST visit for any history buff. Sooo much to see and learn at an affordable price, with free parking - but a couple takeaways: It is freezing cold inside. Bring warmer layers to truly enjoy. Everyone was complaining, I mean everyone. When outside - be ware of mosquitoes in grass areas. Stick to the trails. They have a documentary that’s 35 minutes long - totally worth watching! So... This is a MUST visit for any history buff.
