Texas Heroes Monument

Texas Heroes Monument is a bronze and granite memorial standing at Broadway and 25th Street in Galveston. The structure features a central column topped with a seated figure, surrounded by a substantial base and four supporting pillars.

Philanthropist Henry Rosenberg provided funding through his 1893 will specifically for this memorial to honor fighters of the Texas Revolution. The monument was built to commemorate their sacrifice and preserve their memory in the city.

The monument features the figure of Victory at its summit, with four columns representing Patriotism, Honor, Devotion, and Courage.

The memorial is located at a busy downtown intersection with easy access to nearby shops and dining options. Visit during daytime hours when sunlight highlights the bronze sculptures and carved details on the granite base.

The base of the memorial features detailed bronze medallions portraying key figures from Texas history. These carved reliefs tell individual stories that are often overlooked when viewing the monument as a whole.
