Republic Of Texas Plaza

Dedicated during the sesquicentennial, it features a statue of Ashbel Smith, one of city's early settlers and leader for advancement of education in Texas. A historical marker in the city identifies Smith's home, "Evergreen," overlooking Tabbs Bay. The Baytown Historical Preservation Association maintains and interprets an outdoor living history museum at the plaza. The restored 1894 Wooster Common School No. 38 is the oldest "one-room" schoolhouse in Harris County. Free tours on the last Saturday each month, except holidays and during inclement weather. Group tours available by appointment. www.baytownhistory.org.
