Event comments
Fort Anahuac Park marks the location of a garrison and customs house built in 1831 by prisoners of the Mexican government on the bluff overlooking the mouth of Trinity River. Fort was the scene of incidents in 1832 and 1835 that helped guide the Texas Revolution. William B. Travis was imprisoned here in 1832. Colonists organized an army in rebellion to Mexican rule and drew up a written resolution of war called the Turtle Bayou Resolution. In 1835, the fort was captured by Texan forces under the command of Travis. While some traces remain of the original fort, the park is currently used for picnicking, camping, ball games, fishing, and bird watching. The town of Anahuac is the county seat of Chambers County. The town loop of the walk will pass by the county courthouse, Chambers Home, Schilling HoHome,Chambers County Law Enforcement Center, and Historical Commmmission
