Sam Houston Statue, Huntsville

Wow, talk about an awesome staff! When we pulled in a lady actually walked outside just to greet us and say hello! Talk about a nice, clean, and friendly environment! Everything was well kept, walkways we're all perfect, picnic areas were immaculate, and all the information markers looked brand new. I had no idea how big the statue really was until I stood in front of it. I'm glad my Familiar suggested we should go check this place out. The little amphitheater was dope. There is this gigantic head of Sam Houston there so picture opportunities are endless lol. If you're looking for a little spot to stop and chill, maybe have a little picnic, you should for sure park your self here for a little while and check it out. Lots of info available about the area and surrounding parks along with a knowledge staff that is more than willing to help. A+ for sure!

Super cute area and visitor's center. It was dark when we visited, so we didn't get an opportunity to go inside. Very cool to see in person though! We will come back by during open hours next time to check out the shop and interpretive center.

A spontaneous stop off that was well worth the time and experience. With a short little walk from the gift shop and information building, that contains a few artifacts of Sam Houston's, you will find a trail of donator names etched into brick leading you to an incredible display of artistry. The artist, even added Houston's wedding band. The staff is well versed in Sam Houston's life and the history surrounding him. They will direct you to other places to obtain more information and see more sites. *Ask about the 'Big Sam's Honor Club. Plenty of spots for a picnic under the shades of trees, and activities like playing the games on the porch, enjoy the company of Boghi the cat or enjoy scavenger hunts and color sheets. There are vending machines on spot and restrooms. Jams and ice creams for sale inside, novelty items and This great for a stop off on a trip or day drive.

We pass the Sam Houston Statue all the time we travel up and down I45 but never realized there was a visitor center directly behind the statue nestled in a nice wooded area. The visitor center was closed for lunch but we were able to walk thru the center and follow the trail to the front of the statue. There is plenty of parking at the visitor center as well. There are a few signs along the trail with interesting information about the statue and brochures to take to read. We highly recommend this place to visit.

It’s free to go in and has a cute little gift shop. The statue is impressive. And there are some nice walking trails to stretch your legs
