And then, take a trip back in history to see how the great state of Texas was born in the Platinum Award winning documentary, The Birth of Texas – Houston: A Nation’s Capitol. For two hurly-burly years, the Bayou City was the capital of the Republic of Texas, promoted by the Allen Brothers even while one of them represented Nacogdoches. As Sam Houston, Mirabeau Lamar and others squabbled over the direction in which they would lead the fledgling nation, scores of drunken, furloughed, knife-wielding soldiers battled in makeshift saloons, on the town’s muddy streets and at the dueling grounds which was located south of Texas Avenue. The new port bustled with commerce while the Masonic Lodge, the Texas Philosophical Society and missionary churches sought to provide social uplift for Houston. See where it all began and find out how you can own your own piece of the story.
