This two-day, park-wide, weekend event commemorates when 59
men gathered in 1836 at Independence Hall in Washington on
the Brazos to formally declare Texas' independence from Mexico.
There is no better place to learn about this heroic period in this great
state's history than where the actual event happened 183 years ago.
The Texas Independence Day Celebration features live music, food,
traditional crafts, musket and cannon firings, and a 19th-century
magician.'This year there will be a Mexican Army encampment with
historical reenactors as well as a bona fide 1836 Texas Army camp
where visitors can wander freely to learn how the soldiers and their
families lived.
