2024-02-11 Presidio La Bahia, Goliad TX

Sunday afternoon we headed just up the road to visit these places.

The Presidio is impressive as you drive up the road.

Before we headed inside, we saw these turkeys crossing the field out front. 




Lots of history in Texas.



More on the Angel of Goliad coming up. 

There is a lot of information on posters and displays inside the museum but it was nice to get outside.

Built in the corner of the Presideo, the church was a big part of the compound.




Just out in front of the Presideo is the birthplace of General Zaragoza. It is actually part of the state park.




I have to admit it. We spent very little time inside this building as the mildew smell was overwhelming although we couldn't see any.



On our way to see the Fannin Memorial, we were surprised and thrilled to see lots of wildflowers...early February!

Even very early bluebonnet peeking out.




The Fannin Memorial is impressive. Names are engraved on the front.

More on the Angel of Goliad that did all she could to help the men that were killed here.


 There are stone tables and benches around this stature donated by and engraved with names of her descendants.
