My husband and I visted on a Saturday night. The bar had a fabulous band, we could have listened to them all night but “Scare on the Square” called us away.

Two must sees on the square in Goliad! The Goliad County Courthouse, one of the best in Texas, and the stunning "Hanging Tree" on the grounds of the courthouse. This tree is huge and just beautiful all by itself. Justice was served quickly back in the day and the limbs of this tree provide a glimpse of history.

This 1894 courthouse ranks up there with some of the other beautiful county courthouses build in Texas. In fact, this one in Goliad was designed by the same person as the Caldwell courthouse in Lockhart (both are beautiful). We brought our bikes to go on the Angel of Goliad Hike and Bike Trail because the trailhead is just 2 short blocks to the south. This is a perfect starting point because you can also see the courthouse and the beautiful historic town square that surrounds the courthouse.

A beautiful park that allows you to reflect the terrible cost of Independence. It offers a serene, colorful and peaceful place to enjoy a family picnic, hike or take long morning or evening walks. The park betrays the site where Col Fannin, enroute to the Alamo, was captured after a defensive fight against Santa Anna's cavalry, and led back to Goliad where all 400 Texian troops were executed. This, along with the Presidio Bahia is a must see experience to learn more about the beginnings of the Texas Independence.
