Located on 293 acres of lush park land, Washington on the Brazos State Historic Site offers visitors a unique glimpse into the lives of the 59 delegates who met on March 2, 1836, to declare Texas' independence from Mexico. With attractions such as the Star of the Republic Museum, Independence Hall, and Barrington Plantation, this Texas Historical Commission-run site provides a comprehensive understanding of the Texas Revolution and the Republic of Texas. A must-visit for all Texans and newcomers alike, Washington on the Brazos is where Texas became Texas. Currently undergoing restoration and reimagination, the site's epic transformation aims to enhance the visitor experience. While the Star of the Republic Museum is temporarily closed, Independence Hall, Barrington Plantation State Historic Site, walking trails, and the picnic area remain open to the public. The restoration will bring the events of 1836 to life, highlighting the significance of the Convention of 1836 in the Texas Revolution, while the Star of the Republic Museum will showcase the diverse groups that lived in Texas during that time. With grounds open daily and a visitor center providing information and tickets, Washington on the Brazos State Historic Site is a must-see destination for history enthusiasts.Generated from the website
