Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Palmito Ranch Battlefield is a National Historical Landmark and a Civil War Battleground in southeastern Cameron County, near Brownsville. Today the battlefield is in an undeveloped and remote area, similar to how it appeared in 1865. For interpretation of the events that took place during the Battle, drivers and tourists can tune into 1610 AM, a local station added in 2011. There is some signage and markers along Boca Chica Highway - State Highway 4 indicating the location of the Battlefield. Each year, there is an event called Park Day that brings volunteers to the battlefield to clean and repair the grounds for future visitors.
