San Jacinto Museum Hours and Admission Prices

On April 21, 1836, in present-day Harris County, a Texian army led by General Sam Houston won the Battle of San Jacinto, forever sealing the location as the birthplace of Texas’ independence from Mexico. Today, the San Jacinto Museum of History in La Porte, just outside the Houston area, welcomes visitors seven days a week to tour the San Jacinto Monument, the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site, the San Jacinto Museum of History, the Albert and Ethel Herzstein Library, and the marsh trail and boardwalk. Needless to say, there’s no shortage of things to see, do, and discover. Check out the hours and admission prices for these can’t-miss Houston-area attractions before you plan to visit.
