SAN FELIPE — Nicole Shadle, lead educator at the San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site, presented a fascinating program on this remarkable landmark during the March 17 meeting of the Dilue Rose Harris chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT).
Shadle delved into the actual history of the town and the surrounding area and how it came to be part of the Texas Historical Commission.
The site, situated just a mile from the Stephen F. Austin State Park in San Felipe, now offers a visitor center, museum, gift shop and reconstructed buildings of the original town of San Felipe.
