Sam Houston Statue in Huntsville
Photographer: Kevin Stillman

Sam Houston Statue

It's the world's tallest statue of an American hero. Huntsville native David Adickes turned 60,000 pounds of concrete and steel into a towering 67-foot statue of Gen. Sam Houston. Mounted atop a 10-foot, granite-sheathed base, the statue is visible for more than six miles. Includes a visitor center and gift shop. 112 I-45, south of town. 936/291-9726.
