5 overwhelmingly beautiful scenic spots in the Houston area
The museum, chartered in 1938 to โpreserve and revisualize the history of early Texas,โ spans more than four centuries of early Texas history, from the beginnings of European activity in the New World through Texasโ history as a state in the United States. Fun fact: As you likely know, everythingโs bigger in Texas, and the San Jacinto Monument is no exception. Each year, itโs the sight of dozens of major Houston events, including the cityโs annual Freedom Over Texas firework show. The parkโs massive appeal is credited in large part to its sweeping panoramic views of the downtown Houston skyline. Fast fact: The park was named in honor of the late city councilmember and civic activist, Eleanor Tinsley.
