Celebrate San Jacinto Day on April 21

(Click to make larger) The Surrender of Santa Anna was painted by William Henry Huddle to depict the morning after Texas victory over Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto.

     The City of Nacogdoches Historic Sites Department and the Daughters of the Republic of Texas cordially invite you to join them in their celebration of San Jacinto Day. The celebration will take place at Aldolphus Sterne’s home, financier of the revolution, early Nacogdoches merchant and Texas legislator. Much of Nacogdoches’ involvement in the war against Mexico can be contributed to Mr. Sterne and his devotion to the cause.

     With Sterne’s hands in almost everything that dealt with the revolution, it only seems fitting that the San Jacinto Day celebration take place at his home. So come out and do just that; show your Texas pride on Thursday, April 21st from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sterne Hoya House Museum and Library located at 211 South Lanana Street. A proclamation will be presented by Mayor Roger Van Horn immediately followed by the reading of the names of the men who fought in the Battle of San Jacinto. Period music will be played and light refreshments will be served. The finale of the celebration will be a toast at 3:30 p.m. around the time the battle ended. Parking is limited so be sure to come early!

     Prior to the celebration at Sterne-Hoya, don’t miss the historic tree planting dedication that will take place at Oak Grove Cemetery, located on Lanana Street, at 2:30 p.m. where a San Antonia Live Oak will be planted by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

     The event coordinators encourage the whole Nacogdoches community to come out and help celebrate one of the most important days in Texas history. If you cannot make it to the celebration, be sure to make a toast to Texas at 3:30 p.m. wherever you are! Hurrah for Texas!

     For more information about the San Jacinto Day celebration, contact Jessica Wood at (936) 560-5426. You can also “Like” the City of Nacogdoches Historic Sites department on facebook @ Nac Historic Sites.

THE 2010 HISTORIC PRESERVATION AWARD WINNER

Mayor Roger Van Horn presents 2010 Preservation Award to owners representative Jim Blackburn.

     Every year, the Nacogdoches Historic Landmark Preservation Committee seeks to honor a local preservationist; someone who has helped to preserve a piece of Nacogdoches history. The committee examines restoration efforts completed the previous year and chooses the project that shows exceptional merit in the field of historic preservation.

     This year the committee had a particularly tough decision to make as there were five highly merited projects.

     Ultimately, the Nacogdoches Historic Landmark Preservation Committee chose Bob McCarty for his work at 520 East Pillar. On April 5 Mayor Roger Van Horn, on behalf of the City of Nacogdoches and the Nacogdoches Historical Landmark Preservation Committee (NHLPC) presented the 2010 Nacogdoches Historic Preservation Award to Mr. McCarty’s representative Jim Blackburn.

Before (Click to make larger)

     Blackburn stated, “This award is a real honor and we are happy to be a part of one of the City’s historic districts and to do our part to preserve part of Nacogdoches’ history.

     One exceptional aspect of this preservation project is that Mr. McCarty lives out of the area, in fact, out of the state, and yet chose to invest and preserve the history of our beautiful city. We are thankful for the work of Mr. McCarty and all of our local preservationists!

After (Click to make larger)

     The Historic Sites Department would like to thank everyone who is involved in preserving Nacogdoches and encourage others to follow in Mr. McCarty’s footsteps to not only preserve but also take those extra steps to create the best! If you would like to know more about the Nacogdoches Historic Landmark Preservation Award, please contact the Historic Sites Department at 936-560-4443.

You will also find out what YOU CAN DO to impact SBOE redistricting. This will also serve as a precursor to other lines being redrawn during redistricting.
