Join us this Spring Break for a special firearms demonstration! Colonel Pedro Delgado, a Mexican officer present at the Battle of San Jacinto, described the sounds of the Texian advance in his post-battle account: "In this disposition, yelling furiously with a brisk fire of grape, muskets, and rifles, they advanced resolutely upon our camp. There the utmost confusion prevailed..."
Confusion was easy to come by. The battleground was smoky and extremely loud - so much so that the voices of men, clap of muskets, and roar of cannons was heard for miles around.
Venture to the San Jacinto Battleground to experience some of the thunderous sounds of battle as staff demonstrate how to fire a musket and rifle, weapons both the Mexican and Texian armies utilized on the fateful day that won Texan independence. You will also have the chance to touch and view our non-firing replicas at our firearms touch table.
The demonstration will take place near the Reflection Pool; all ages are welcome for this free event - just be prepared for loud noises!
When: March 9th, 2026, 11 AM - 1 PM
Who: All ages
Where: By the right side of the reflection pool
Cost: Free!
