History isn't just dates on a page; sometimes it’s a buried secret or a legend whispered across the marsh. In this episode of the Hangout Podcast, we’re heading to the Battle of San Jacinto to chat with Andy and Pamela from the San Jacinto Museum and Battlefield and the Texas Historical Commission.

We’re diving deep into the soul of Texas history, covering everything from the tactical mysteries of 1836 to the high-stakes engineering of the present day.

What’s on the Agenda:
✰ The Battle of San Jacinto
Gritty tales from the 18 minutes that changed the map of Texas forever.
✰ Legends of the Graves
A look into the storied resting places across the grounds, exploring the lore of those who remained on the field and the stories that keep their memories alive.
✰ Moving a Titan
A glimpse at the massive, complex process of relocating the Battleship Texas for its historic restoration.
✰ Family Days at the Frontline
Discover the upcoming events at the San Jacinto Monument designed for all ages, from interactive living history demonstrations to hands-on activities that bring the myths and legends of Texas to life for the next generation.

Listen now to uncover the secrets of the Lone Star State!

— T.R. Fehrenbach, author of Lone Star
