Acton State Historic Site, Texas State Historic Site in Hood County, United States.
The site features a prominent statue of Elizabeth Crockett overlooking Acton Cemetery, where she rests among other early Texas settlers.
Elizabeth Patton Crockett, who married Davy Crockett in Tennessee during 1815, lived in this area until her death in 1860 at 72 years old.
The Texas Legislature authorized funds in 1911 to construct a memorial that honors the connection between the Crockett family and Texas settlement history.
