State to restore San Jacinto battlefield park with museum
Texas plans a multimillion dollar renovation of the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Park near Houston. The project costing an estimated 50 to 70 million dollars will add a new museum and visitor center and restore the landscape to era conditions with marshes and walking trails. An archaeological study and design work begin immediately with about half the funds raised privately. The site holds the 564 foot San Jacinto Monument and sees about one million visitors yearly from Texas history.
