The Palo Alto Battlefield National Historic Site preserves the site of the May 8, 1846 battle which officially initiated the U.S.-Mexican War. The war was fought to determine the boundary of Texas. During this battle, Mexican forces effectively delayed the advancement of U.S. troops and continued their siege of Fort Texas. However, these benefits had a high cost in casualties—102, as opposed to nine U.S. deaths.

The site offers a 15-minute introductory film, exhibits, wayside interpretive panels, a half-mile trail, Junior Ranger activities, educational programs for students, and one-hour outreach programs for students. The film is available in English and Spanish. All educational programs require at least two weeks advance notice. The website offers elementary school and middle school teacher's guides, as well as introductory video segments for children.

Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site consists of a reconstructed 1840s fur trade post. The structures are made of adobe, and the fort sits along the Santa Fe Trail. Built in 1833, the fort soon became central to the activities of the Bent, St.Vrain Company, particularly the trade with the Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho peoples for buffalo robes. In 1846, during the Mexican-American War, Colonel Stephen Watts Kearny used the fort to assemble his troops. Trade at the post involved U.S. citizens, Native Americans, and Mexicans.

The site offers a 20-minute introductory film, self-guided tours, tours led by costumed interpreters, demonstrations, school tours and demonstrations, living history encampments which qualify for continuing education credit, a traveling trunk, children's encampments, and Junior Ranger activities. The website offers video podcasts of trade demonstrations, a narrated virtual tour, a video presentation of the experiences of Lewis Garrard (1846-1847) at Bent's Old Fort, and lesson plans.

The history of the Patterson Township began with a Mexican land grant given to two brothers in 1844. The town was entirely sold to T.W. Patterson and family by 1908. Patterson decided to build his town in the same way as Paris and Washington D.C., laying out a series of circles with radiating streets. Patterson soon became a vibrant farming community in California's central valley. In 1978, the Center Building was granted to the Historical Society for use as a Patterson Township history museum. Today, the museum also serves as the headquarters for the Patterson-Westley Chamber of Commerce.

The site offers several photographs depicted early figures from Patterson's history and the present day history museum, purchasing information for "The Gateway," the Patterson Historical Society's annual publication, and general information regarding the society.

The park contains a refurnished replica of Mission Nuestra Senora del Espíritu Santo de Zuniga, reconstructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s. The mission was originally established in 1722 near Matagorda Bay and moved to its present site in 1749. This mission was the first large cattle ranch in Texas, supplying its own needs and those of Spanish colonial settlements as far away as Louisiana. The park also contains General Ignacio Zaragoza's Birthplace, Plaza, and Amphitheater, which are located near Presidio La Bahia. General Zaragoza assumed command of the rag-tag Mexican Army and welded it into a staunch fighting force, which met and defeated the French on May 5, 1862, in the Battle of Puebla, which led to Mexico's independence from France.

The site offers tours and occasional recreational and educational events.
