Step onto Sacred Ground — Discover the Fannin Battleground
Just outside Victoria, Texas lies a place where history echoes through the live oaks and the wind carries the memory of sacrifice — The Fannin Battleground State Historic Site.
This is no ordinary field. Here, in March of 1836, brave Texian soldiers under the command of Col. James W. Fannin stood their ground in the name of freedom. Though outnumbered and ultimately captured after a valiant fight, their story didn’t end at surrender. Just days later, most were executed in the tragic event known as the Goliad Massacre — a defining moment that galvanized the Texan spirit and fueled the fight for independence.
The Fannin Battleground invites you to walk where they fought, reflect where they fell, and remember why they rose. With its peaceful setting, interpretive exhibits, and solemn monument, the site honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the pursuit of liberty.
Come experience a piece of Texas history that changed everything.
Honor the fallen. Learn their story. Carry their legacy.
