These storage tanks are adorned with beautiful artwork that tell a story about the hardships in the fight for Texas Independence and you can learn more by visiting the San Jacinto, TX Historic District. In fact, the San Jacinto Monument in the city is the world’s tallest memorial column. Walk around the museum to view a variety of exhibits and antiquities or walk the former battlefield on which the monument is situated.
