San Jacinto Victory Celebration

Founded in 1891, the Daughters of The Republic of Texas is the Oldest Patriotic Women’s organization in Texas and one of the oldest in the nation.

• The objectives of the association are to perpetuate the memory and spirit of the people who achieved and maintained the independence of Texas and to encourage historical research into the earliest records of Texas, especially those relating to the revolutionary and republic periods. 

• One of the association’s early projects was to persuade the Texas legislature to purchase the land on which the battle of San Jacinto was fought.

• In 1986 the Daughters buried a time capsule containing memorabilia of the Sesquicentennial celebration at the Cradle in Galveston. The capsule is to be opened during the Texas Bicentennial in the year 2036.

• The DRT worked with artist Benjamin Knox to create the artwork for the Native Texan License Plate.
