The Gonzales Memorial Museum: founded to honor the Immortal 32, a group of volunteers from Gonzales who fought in the Alamo. The museum houses a vast collection of objects and photographs that tell the story of the Immortal 32, as well as the famous cannon that sparked the Texas Revolution.
The Eggleston House: a humble dog-run style log cabin built in 1845 that provides a fine example of homes that were common on the Texas frontier.
The J.B. Wells House Museum: an impressive 15-room mansion constructed in 1885 with fire escapes and indoor plumbing. Rooms in both houses are furnished with period-appropriate furniture and other decorations, offering a contrasting look at two eras of Gonzales’ history.
