Located at the site where 59 delegates gathered on March 2, 1836 to declare Texas’ independence from Mexico, the Star of the Republic Museum depicts the colorful saga of the Texas Republic—the story of Texas and its heritage…cotton and cattle…legends of blood and iron…vast resources and vast lands.
The Star of the Republic Museum was created by the Texas Legislature and is administered by Blinn College as a cultural and educational institution. Its purpose is to collect and preserve the material culture of the Texas Republic (1836-1846) and to interpret the history, cultures, diversity, and values of early Texans. The Museum strives to inspire interest, understanding and appreciation of Texas heritage for students, teachers, scholars, and the general public through exhibits, tours, programs, web activities, and outreach.
