TEXAS HISTORY
What better way to learn about Texas history than by walking in the footsteps of those who created the Republic of Texas? On March 2, 1836, 59 elected delegates met at Washington on the Brazos to sign a declaration of independence from Mexico and create a new nation. A trip to this historic site and award-winning Star of the Republic Museum allows visitors to step back in time and experience life in early 19th century.
