Learn the history behind the Battle Reenactments:

Texas Heritage & Independence Celebration Association, Inc., (THICA), is dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of Texas. Our main attraction will be our re-enactments of the Battle of Gonzales, the Battle of the Alamo, and the Battle of San Jacinto, with the roar of the cannons and smoking fire from the muskets. Everyone needs to see how it all started in the direct confrontation between the Mexican Lieutenant and the Texian Colonel over the possession of the small cannon at Gonzales. The brave men defending the Alamo to the last man, as well as seeing Capt. Juan Seguin lead his Tejanos to victory along with Gen. Houston and the Texas Army on the plain of San Jacinto!
