This is where we will be Saturday morning. Come see us in Freeport!
We will return when this program is over, so if you're wanting to visit our park on Saturday, the afternoon is the time!

Step back in time this Saturday, June 13, at the Freeport Historical Museum's Fort Velasco Day!

Experience life in the 1830s with cannon firing demonstrations, historical reenactors, and hands-on activities!

The park will be closed tomorrow because staff and volunteers will be offsite to help commemorate the lives lost at the Goliad massacre. If you are able to come out to Presidio La Bahia State Historic Site and see us that would be great. We will be open Sunday as usual, thank you for your understanding.
