Acton State Historic Site is Texas's smallest historic site with a total of .01 acres. The site is the burial ground of Elizabeth Crockett, second wife of Davy Crockett, who married him in Tennessee in 1815. She died Jan. 31, 1860. Because Crockett fought for Texas and died at the Alamo, his heirs were eligible for a land grant, but Mrs. Crockett did not claim her grant until 1853. By that time all choice land was claimed and she had to give a surveyor half of her land for locating a tract for her gravesite. The monument was erected at Acton Cemetery by Legislative appropriation in 1911.

The site is open to the public.

In 1863, the U.S. Navy attempted to invade Confederate Texas through the Sabine Pass to gain access to Houston, the rail center of Texas. Guarding the pass was Fort Griffin, where on Sept. 8, 1863, Lt. Dick Dowling and 46 of his men used six cannons to defeat four gunboats and halt the invasion. In honor of the Texas defenders, a bronze statue of Dowling overlooks the 57.5-acre park. An interpretive pavilion illustrates the story of the battle, while a walking trail features historical markers. Four World War II ammunition bunkers stand witness to the site’s use by the U.S. Army Coastal Artillery Division.

Near this area, a wooden picket fort was constructed around 1831 by Mexican forces in anticipation of trouble with Anglo immigrants. The fort apparently was named for a camp of Lipan Apaches in the vicinity. In 1835, the small guard force that held the fort surrendered it to Texan forces without a shot being fired. In 1842, a battalion of Texas volunteers camped in this area. In an attempt to lay claim to the territory between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande, the camp was seized by Mexican general Antonio Canales, but the Mexican forces later retreated. Around 10 years later, during the Mexican War, troops under General Zachary Taylor passed through this area on their way to the Rio Grande.

Fannin Battleground State Historic Site encompasses more than 13 acres. On March 20, 1836, at this site, Colonel J. W. Fannin and 284 of his men surrendered after the Battle of Coleto to Mexican General Jose Urrea and were told they would be treated as prisoners of war. Seven days after the capture, General Santa Anna had Fannin and the men with him, plus other prisoners captured in the area, executed as traitors. Twenty-eight prisoners escaped but 342 men were massacred near what is now Goliad State Park.
