Gonzales Memorial Museum

Gonzales Memorial Museum

This monument celebrates those who fought the first battle of the Texas Revolution and for the 32 patriots who later answered Travis' call for help at the Alamo. The museum features the cannon that precipitated that first battle when Texans ordered to give up the weapon challenged Mexican troops to "come and take it." Mexican relics and Texana also are on display. Open 10 a.m.–noon and 1–5 p.m. Tue.–Sat., and 1–5 p.m. Sun. East St. Lawrence Street.

Eggleston House is a carefully restored log house, originally built in 1848 and furnished with antiques to reveal a picture of Texas pioneer life. Free tours may be arranged through the museum or by contacting the chamber of commerce. Open 10 a.m.– noon and 1–5 p.m. Tue.–Sat., and 1–5 p.m. Sun. 888/672-1095.
