Review & FAQ:

Home to the USS Texas museum ship and the site of the Battle of San Jacinto, the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site was designated in 1960 as a National Historic Landmark and features the San Jacinto Monument as its main attraction. While exploring the historic site, visitors are able to take an elevator ride up to the observation deck of the San Jacinto Monument for a great view of the USS Texas, the Houston Ship Channel, and the city of Houston. The Battle of San Jacinto was the decisive battle that resulted in the independence of Texas from Mexico.
