THE SAN JACINTO BATTLEGROUND DID NOT BECOME the historic site we know today overnight. For decades, heritage organizations such as the Texas Veteran Association, and the Sons and Daughters of the Republic of Texas, worked to preserve, beautify, and care for these historic grounds. In this hands-on activity, participants will step into the role of these organizations by assembling a take-home battlefield puzzle, learning how coordinated efforts helped shape the battleground into the commemorative landscape we see today.
Suitable for kids aged 5 and up; younger children are welcome but will need to have an adult to help. This activity is free with purchase of an adult ticket to the San Jacinto Museum. On San Jacinto Family Day, kids are admitted for free when accompanied by a parent or grandparent.
