Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park

Very interesting bit of history that I know I never learned in school except for maybe a passing mention. The park ranger was very knowledgeable and helpful, great guy. Gave us a great recommendation for a local taqueria.

A beautiful place to visit with a lot of history to learn. The visitor center was very well done. And as a bonus, if you’re a birder, this place is a gem.

Informative national park concerning the first battle of the Mexican American war. A nice stop to see between Brownsville and SPI.

Had the opportunity to visit here today and really liked it. From the moment we checked in, we were helped and greeted professionally by staff. After watching a quick movie about the history, we made the walk out and back. It’s roughly a mile and very well paved. We were able to see a couple of Western Rattlesnakes mating and a Texas Tortoise today. Well worth the visit!

I found this by accident while driving back from Boca Chica and I am glad I stopped for a quick hike. The visitor center was nice and the information along the trail was really informative.

Me and my partner visited whilst we were stopping in the area, and we both ended up having a really nice time. There was so much to learn, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Would recommend this to anyone of any age in the area who wants to learn more about the local history!

It’s a really important site to check out the different views on the history are important to understand to move forward. Great history great movie. Great trails. Look for the horned lizards.

Great living history events. They never disappoint! They even show a demonstration of the cannons going off and how they prepared and shoot with the antique muskets. Historical facts are shared with the public in every event. Just bring your own cold drink if you go during hot weather, high temperatures can reach 107 degrees pretty fast, and a hot drink in colder weather. Definitely more enjoyable during colder weather.
