San Jacinto Day has arrived! It is a day to celebrate the victory over tyranny and the formation of the Republic of Texas. It is a cool event that set the Lone Star State on a path of glory. This year, I would like to share 10 Small Texas Towns With Cool Things To See.

10. Shangri La Botanical Gardens in Orange, Texas– This is one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in the South. It was damaged slightly in Hurricane Katrina, but they have since repaired it and made it beautiful again.

09. Crockett Street in Beaumont, Texas– Crockett Street is located in the downtown area of Beaumont. It is an area filled with nice restaurants, cafes, a local Broadway-style theater, museums, and a large library.

08. Battleship Texas in La Porte, Texas– USS Texas (BB-35) is a United States naval vessel that was commissioned on March 12, 2914. She served honorably in World war I and World War II. She was decommissioned in 1948 and now serves as a pretty cool museum.
