Preserving the Battlefield

June 4, 2025, through August 17, 2025

 

The Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT) and the Texas Veterans Association (TVA) played instrumental roles in preserving the San Jacinto Battlefield. Thanks to their collaborative efforts, the site was safeguarded for future generations.

 

The markers placed by the San Jacinto Chapter of the DRT located throughout the site, and the Brigham Monument which resulted from a TVA reunion help orient visitors at San Jacinto.  But these stone objects are not the only impact these groups made at San Jacinto. Be sure to stop by and explore the stories, struggles, and triumphs of the DRT and TVA in helping to preserve the battlefield.
