Gonzales Memorial Museum

About Us:

Gonzales Memorial Museum and Amphitheatre was built in 1936-1937 as a Texas Centennial project, and is owned by the city of Gonzales, and sponsored by the Thomas Shelton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Historical artifacts, including the "Come and Take It" cannon are included as exhibits of the museum.

The building is made of Texas shell stone trimmed in Cordova cream limestone. The building contains two wings divided by a large rotunda, which serves as the entrance. The back wall of the amphitheatre, which can seat 500, features a beautiful marble memorial mural honoring the eighteen men who defended Gonzales in 1835.
