Texas was born in 1836, and its birthplace is a historic site.

Washington-on-the-Brazos is a 293-acre park in Washington County that includes the site where Texas declared its independence from Mexico on March 2, 1836. The park now hosts an annual Texas Independence Day Celebration each March.

The site includes attractions such as Independence Hall, the Star of Republic Museum that was built in 1969 and Barrington Living History Farm. The farm is a working plantation of the 1830s that is modeled after the home of Anson Jones, who was the last president of the Republic of Texas
