Join the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site for a day of fun for the whole family at the base of the San Jacinto Monument. It’s time for a fall fandango! The event will have saloon games, period music and dancing, arts and crafts, and hands-on living history activities, plus food trucks and vendors. There are many heritage activities across the Texas Historical Commission’s state historic sites this fall. Plan your visit to a site by reading our state historic sites official guide, or by looking at the upcoming events calendar below.
San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site is the headquarters of Stephen F. Austin’s colony in Mexican Texas. Founded in 1823, the town served as the administrative, political, and cultural capital of American immigration to Texas before it was intentionally burned by its residents during the Runaway Scrape of the Texas Revolution. The Villa de Austin historic townsite is a 2021 recreation of buildings that offers an impression of the historic fabric of the town. Plan your visit and explore the modern visitors center and museum.
Known as the premier historic preservation and heritage tourism event in the Lone Star State, the Texas Historical Commission’s Real Places conference brings together people from all the varied fields involved in Texas history and preservation. Anyone interested in protecting our past can work directly with industry-leading experts to learn practical, actionable solutions they can apply in their community. Presented by the Friends of the Texas Historical Commission in partnership with Phoenix I Restoration and Construction, LLC, Real Places 2023 will take place online and in person, in Austin, February 1–3.
