Overview of your Houston tour:

This was the site of the most important battle in Texas history. While more people have heard of The Alamo thanks to John Wayne's 1960 movie of the same name and visited there because of its convenience in downtown San Antonio, the Mexicans slaughtered all of the defenders and the Texicans or Texians gained nothing on March 6, 1836. After another Mexican massacre of the Texians at Goliad on March 20, 1836, it was at San Jacinto where the Texians rallied and won independence on April 21, 1836. This tour can be modified and shortened as requested with some sites eliminated.

Your Houston tour itinerary

Come and see the site where the Texas won its independence from Mexico on April 21, 1836. This was the second most successful battle fought on what is today American soil (after the Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815). In 18 minutes, the Texians or Texicans as they were called killed 630 Mexicans. The San Jacinto Monument is the tallest obelisk in the United States because we have a star of Texas on top of it. Included in this tour is: 1. Seeing a Charlton Heston narrated movie, "Texas Forever, " about the Battle of San Jacinto. 2. The history museum. 3. The observation deck. 4. Any special exhibits. 5. The cemeteries of the victims of the Battle of San Jacinto. 6. The Houston Ship Channel. 7. A ride on a ferry boat. 8. Seeing miles/kilometers of refineries.
