http://www.thc.texas.gov/historic-sites/mission-dolores-state-historic-site -- On September 9, 2016, we hosted an open house at Mission Dolores State Historic Site in San Augustine to celebrate our recent acquisition of the site and our partnership with the community. Mission Dolores has a rich history dating back to its first incarnation in 1717. Our state historic site is the location of the re-established 1721 mission which, although no longer present, is interpreted at the museum and visitors center. The site and this portion of the Texas Forest Trail Region offers a lot for heritage tourists to explore due to its location on El Camino Real de los Tejas and its proximity to the San Augustine Main Street district, the San Augustine County Courthouse (restored as part of our Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program), the Nacogdoches Main Street district, our Caddo Mounds State Historic Site, and Mission Tejas State Park.
We’re thrilled to welcome Mission Dolores to our family of properties, and we encourage you to visit this special site. Learn more at http://www.visitmissiondolores.com

http://www.thc.texas.gov — This 360-degree video is a trailer for an upcoming short film by the Texas Historical Commission (THC) about the Goliad Massacre, which took place in March 1836. It is an important, yet often-overlooked, moment in the pursuit of Texas independence.
This video is in 360-degree format, which permits you to move your mouse while holding down the button to rotate the view in 360 degrees. Mobile device users will be able to move their devices and gain different views.
The main THC film will feature new information and video footage of artifacts, the role of Col. James W. Fannin, and ties to the Battle of Coleto Creek. For the first time, film footage of one of three massacre sites will be made publicly available. 360-degree video filmed within and around the Presidio La Bahía and Fannin Battleground State Historic Site is intended to help viewers gain a deeper understanding of the tragic story that played an important role in the 1836 march toward Texas independence.
STORY SYNOPSIS
At sunrise on Palm Sunday, March 27, 1836, the Mexican army marched most of a captured Texian army in three groups from the Presidio La Bahía near Goliad. Within a short distance, the Mexicans opened fire on the weaponless soldiers and executed 342, of which 40 were too wounded to march. Twenty-eight men escaped, and an additional 30 with special skills were spared. Inside the walls of the Presidio, the wounded Texian commander, Col. James W. Fannin was executed at point blank range. The massacre occurred only three weeks after the Battle of the Alamo and roughly four weeks before the Battle of San Jacinto.
The THC has been the state agency for historic preservation for more than 60 years. The Friends of the Texas Historical Commission (http://www.THCfriends.org) develops private resources to assist the THC in its mission.

FANNIN BATTLEGROUND
Fannin Battleground State Historic Site is located near Goliad at:

Fannin, TX 77960
Fannin Battleground memorializes the brave soldiers who fought the Battle of Coleto Creek on this site in 1836 during the Texas War for Independence. After Col. James W. Fannin surrendered to Mexican forces, Gen. Santa Anna ordered him and his men executed in nearby Goliad, against the wishes of other Mexican commanders. The surrender, and unanticipated execution, inflamed the Texas cause, spurring the battle cry “Remember Goliad!” More on Fannin Battleground State Historic Site can be found at www.visitfanninbattleground.com.
