In November of 1891, a group of seventeen women founded the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, making the preservation and care of the San Jacinto battleground a cornerstone of their mission. After successfully working with the state to secure rights to the land, the women moved on to the next project of transforming these rolling acres of prairie to a battleground memorial. This program recognizes the efforts of the DRT to use historical records and veteran accounts to map the battleground, marking significant sites with the large granite stone markers that remain standing to this day. Participants are invited to step into the role of these early DRT members to assemble a puzzle of the battleground, which they can later take home! Using the historical descriptions of the battleground and the surrounding landscape, participants will gain a better understanding of the battleground and the process of identifying and mapping the points of interest relevant to the history of the Battle of San Jacinto.
