In honor of the upcoming anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto, we visited the Sam Houston museum in Huntsville. It did not disappoint. In addition to the great museum, the grounds have 11 or 12 homes and/or buildings related to Houston and early Texas. A few highlights: Santa Anna’s saddle, sword, and other items captured in the battle: ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/04/full-24111-291734-557fde91_abef_4455_a62a_38002f238500.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/04/full-24111-291735-4954c3ab_aabd_4152_ba98_aff48fece4ca.jpeg) Mr. Houston’s jaguar skin vest: ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/04/full-24111-291737-b4ce0412_707f_4611_9873_21b62adb133c.jpeg) Houston’s Law Office outside his Huntsville home: ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/04/full-24111-291740-5610f8e2_d082_45fb_a8ef_9e2101315627.jpeg) Houston’s hunting camp house that was located on the river. Note the “dog run” construction. There were still a few of these around and occupied by some old folks back in east TX when I was a child: ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/04/full-24111-291742-c02609c4_e784_4ac3_9a07_4379a6c5c8c1.jpeg)
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

A great way to honor a true hero.
