Park Entrance

George Campbell Childress (1804-1841) was a lawyer, statesman and almost universally recognized as the primary author of the Texas Declaration of Independence.

A polished red granite Texas centennial historical monument with metal relief art dedicated to the delegates to the Constitutional Convention held here March 1-17, 1836 who declared Texas free, organized a Republic, and framed its constitution.

Marker celebrating 100 years.

Thanks to these volunteers who helped host this event.
