The Republic of Texas is No More

 Thursday, February 19th, 2026 :: 10:00am - 4:00pm
 Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site

Join us as we commemorate the 180th anniversary of Texas Statehood. On February 19, 1846, Anson Jones lowered the Texas flag and raised the American flag, signifying the end of the Republic of Texas. While this event happened in Austin, the groundwork for Texas’ Annexation happened while Washington was the Capital. We will have our own American flag raising in front of Hatfield’s Exchange, and readings of Anson Jones’ speech at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm. For more information please contact Tynan Shadle at tynan.shadle@thc.texas.gov or at 936-878-2214 ext 224.

Preparing for a Convention: Making Benches and Chairs

 Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site

190 years ago, in February 1836, the town of Washington was preparing for the most important meeting in Texas History, the Convention of 1836. 59 delegates from across Texas would soon be descending upon the town, and carpenter Samuel Heath was hard at work. He had been contracted to repair Independence Hall, and build furniture, namely chairs and benches for the delegates. Join us as we build a staked leg bench and fix some chairs in the Heath’s Carpentry Shop! For more information contact Tynan Shadle at tynan.shadle@thc.texas.gov, or at 936-878-2214 ext. 224.
