Monuments
Georgia Monument
Erected in 1976 to fulfill long-standing promise to honor the Georgia Battalion that volunteered in Texas’ war for independence in 1836. Most were killed in the Goliad massacre; Dr. John Shackelford, for whom the county is named, was spared as useful to Mexicans. Flags of the State of Georgia, Texas Republic, and U.S. fly over the stone marker and fountain. Plaques detail the Georgians’ contribution to the new republic.
