Acton State Historic Site

Acton State Historic Site is a memorial in Hood County that honors Elizabeth Crockett with a statue next to Acton Cemetery. The property includes her burial ground and a monument dedicated to early residents of the region.

Elizabeth Crockett came to Texas with her family and settled in this area, where she lived until her death in 1860. The Texas Legislature approved funding to create a monument at her burial site and recognize her connection to the state's early settlement.

The site honors early settlers and their families who shaped Texas. The memorial shows how local communities preserve their history and connections to well-known figures.

The site is located near Granbury and is accessible daily without entry fees. Visitors should know it is a small, quiet place, best suited for a brief visit while exploring other attractions in the area.

The site preserves a direct connection to Davy Crockett, a legendary figure of the American West, in one of Texas's smallest designated historic locations. This personal story unfolds at a place devoted entirely to the family and their memory.
