1. Lone Star Flag Marker
The "Third Flag of the Republic" was designed by Dr. Charles B. Stewart of Montgomery. He told provisional Gov. Henry Smith he had used a family button with a star cut deeply into it as a seal when signing commissions. Later, as part of a flag committee, he incorporated that star into a flag design and seal. The flag was adopted by the Republic of Texas in 1839 and would become the State Flag as Texas entered the union in 1845. From "Remember Goliad, Remember the Alamo" to "Houston, the Eagle has landed", Texas remains larger than life. Texans are proud of their heritage, proud of their state and proud of their country. Visit the home of Dr. Stewart and Fernland in Montgomery, Heritage Museum in Conroe, Sam Houston's home in Huntsville, Washington on the Brazos, San Jacinto, Goliad, The Alamo and all the special places Texas has in its rich history. Huzzah! Huzzah! The Lone Star!

Represented in the park are 13 significant flags flown during the Texas Revolution as Texas became a sovereign nation. With over 50 to choose from, 13 were selected to symbolize the 13 colonies of Texas at the time and the 13 day siege at the Alamo. Historian Jim Walker worked tirelessly with Stephen Hardin and Stephen Moore, noted Texas authors and historians, in choosing the flags.(Submitted on May 23, 2026, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
