Nice hike halfway between Austin and Houston

Comments: The history trail goes to a monument that commemorates massacred Texan soldiers that were killed on orders of Santa Ana after being recaptured escaping and Texan soldiers that were killed in a battle at Salado Creek near San Antonio. The soldiers remains were interred on a Mr. Kreische's property in La Grange, where he built a house and a brewery on a ridge over the Colorado. This trail runs past the monument onto a ridge over the Colorado. The brewery ruins can be viewed from above, and the house can be seen from the front and back.
