| San Jacinto Battleship Texas |
| In 1948, the Battleship Texas became the first battleship memorial museum in the U.S. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's 1,200-acre San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site consists of the Battleground, Monument and Battleship Texas. These sites are located within minutes of downtown Houston and a short distance to the beaches of Galveston Island. Millions of visitors come to this area each year to enjoy the mild coastal climate and cultural and sports activities. Students and visitors alike are most fortunate to be able to experience history first hand through living history at the San Jacinto Battleground and Battleship Texas. |

 | | Jackie Penn, Co-op Member | Fantastic trip! I grew up visiting this battleship as a kid and have had the opportunity for my child to visit. She loved it!
You get to climb all over the ship and even sit behind a gunnery. Some places you have to climb down stairs to get to another level. If that is a problem, there is still much to see on top. The facility has picnic tables for lunch and a gift shop.
Don't miss this one. |
