Join the Texian Army!

Do you have what it takes to be a soldier in the Texas Revolution? Find out at the San Jacinto Battleground’s special summer program.

Before the Battle of San Jacinto, General Houston spent two weeks training his men at Bernardo Plantation. There, they learned how to march and fight in formation and prepared the supplies they needed for the battle. It is also where the army took possession of the Twin Sisters, the Texian army’s only cannons.

At the Join the Texian Army summer program, you can watch weapon demonstrations, participate in (wooden) musket drills, make (candy) bullet cartridges and see how soldiers lived during the Texas Revolution.
