June 1, 2009 ~ San Jacinto Battleground State Park

Crosby Middle School ~ Hitchcock ISD

Students from Crosby's 7th grade class and adult chaperones visited San Jacinto Battleground State Park Monday. Upon arrival the students first visited the San Jacinto Museum of History and checked-out the variety of historical artifacts, then they viewed "Texas Forever" in the Jesse H. Jones Theatre for Texas Studies. Finally, everyone rode the elevator 500 feet up to the observation level to check out the view from the world's tallest monument column. Then it was a short ride across the park to the shady picnic grounds near Sam Houston's Texan army historical campground for a quick lunch.
After lunch, everyone toured the historic Battleship TEXAS ~ the only surviving Dreadnought Battleship and the only surviving ship anywhere in the world that participated in both WW I and WW II.

Too soon, it was time to leave! Smiles abounded as everyone boarded the waiting busses for the hour long ride home.
