Please join us for our annual March on Fredonia event coming up on Saturday, February 7th!

This event commemorates the Austin militia joining in on the effort to quell the Fredonian Rebellion which began in 1826; a time in which a few lone colonists attempted to claim independence from Mexico ten years before Texas would do so officially.

Learn what it took to be a member of Austin's militia 200 years ago, about why no one wanted to declare independence from Mexico that early, and (best of all) see a cannon be fired!

The fun begins at 9am on Saturday, February 7th. The story starts here, at San Felipe de Austin!
