In March of 1836, a new nation called "Texas" was born at Washington-on-the-Brazos. This put Washington County on the map as the Birthplace of Texas. Brenham and Washington County clearly have a long history with many fascinating stories to tell, some of which are being told for the very first time.
Give the gift of Texas History! The 2024 holiday collection features unique items that celebrate the special places that make up Texas Historic Site system. The collection features the homes, people, and animals that are iconic of Texas’ storied history.
