Real History

We don't need TexasLand

Read the Texas Monthly article linked above and you get a sense of the make-believe world according to Lizzy McGee. It reflects on an underwhelming experience when visiting the Alamo, a “... mythologically colossal place that, in reality, can feel quite small, dark, and disconnected from its history”. Inspired during the pandemic while working from her childhood bedroom, McGee concocted TexasLand. A theme park that would feature a new and improved replica of the Alamo, a miniature River Walk, and rides showcasing the diverse cultures of Texas.

Real Texas history isn’t just something to play with — it’s something you can stand in now.

The lands around the Brazos River are steeped in stories of revolution, retreat, and ultimate triumph. Here, you’re closer to the origins of the Lone Star State than just about anywhere else.

Today, you can explore the Brazos Valley and retrace Houston’s journey from San Felipe to San Jacinto. Whether you’re standing where the Texas army trained at Groce’s Ferry, visiting Washington-on-the-Brazos, or the San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site, or walking the battlefield at San Jacinto, you’re stepping into the living history of Texas.

This isn’t just the story of a battle—it’s the story of the grit, courage, sacrifice, and determination that built a republic.
