Belle Oaks Inn is located in historic Gonzales, the "Birthplace of Texas Independence."

If you are interested in Texas history, Gonzales is a wonderful destination. Throughout the town and the surrounding countryside are dozens of historically significant locations, many marked by historical markers. Here is a short list of some of them:

• The monument, near the banks of the Guadalupe River, to the "Old Eighteen," the men who refused to turn over the town's cannon to the Mexican Army.
• The monument at Cost depicting the first shot fired in the Texas Revolution.
• The monument and reflecting pool, at the Gonzales Memorial Museum, honoring the "Immortal Thirty-Two," the only men to reinforce the Alamo.
• The bronze sculpture in "Texas Heroes Square" honoring the heroes in the fight for Texas independence.
• "Pioneer Village," a collection of historic structures located north of town near the remains of an earthen Confederate fort.
• And dozens of historic buildings and homes.
