Washington

Where Texas Became Texas!

Our rolling hills and green meadows exude the rich Texas history that it has experienced throughout the generations. Nearby, Washington-on-the-Brazos is a state historic site that showcases Independence Hall where the Texas Declaration of Independence was drafted in 1836! A must see.
