2.The monument at Cost depicting the first shot fired in the Texas Revolution.

3.The monument and reflecting pool, at the Gonzales Memorial Museum, honoring the "Immortal Thirty-Two," the only men to reinforce the Alamo.

4.The bronze sculpture in "Texas Heroes Square" honoring the heroes in the fight for Texas independence.

5."Pioneer Village," a collection of historic structures located north of town near the remains of an earthen Confederate fort.
