Location:
The ranch is located just a few minutes drive to the historic town of Gonzales, TX and about a fifteen-
minute drive to Shiner, TX, home of the Shiner Beer Brewery. Gonzales is rich in Texas history and was
the site of the famous Come and Take It cannon being fired and the first shots of the Texas Revolution.
Just north of the ranch lies the old trail to Sam Houston Oak and the Braches House. This spot was used as
a rest stop for Sam Houston and the Texan army on their journey to The Battle of San Jacinto. A short time
later Santa Anna and the Mexican Army camped at the same oak tree and house on their march from San
Antonio to The Battle of San Jacinto after the fall of The Alamo. The town of Gonzales holds a large
festival in October called the Come and Take It Festival to celebrate the town's rich Texas Revolution
history.
