Fannin Battleground State Historic Site

The 14-acre site contains a stone obelisk, interpretive exhibits, group pavilion, and picnic areas surrounded by landscaped grounds near Highway 59.

Colonel James Fannin and his Texian forces engaged in the Battle of Coleto Creek against Mexican General Urrea's army in March 1836.

The battlefield location became a state park in 1913 after local citizens donated the land to preserve the memory of Texas independence.

Visitors can explore the grounds daily from 8 AM to 5 PM without admission fees and access educational displays about the Texas Revolution.

An iron cotton gin screw, placed in 1891 by William Hunter, served as the first memorial marker before the construction of the current monument.
