Discover the Edible Landscape of the San Jacinto Battleground
In the 1830s, the prairie and marshlands surrounding the San Jacinto Battleground were rich with native, edible plants. Indigenous communities and early Texian settlers relied on these natural resources for sustenance. Thanks to dedicated prairie restoration efforts, many of these native plants have returned to the landscape.
