The Historical Foundation, (formerly Washington on the Brazos State Park Association), was formed in 1955 to assist with the maintenance, promotion and education of Washington on the Brazos State Historic Site. We host the Texas Independence Day Celebration annually, a two day event featuring historic performers, musicians, re-enactors and craftsmen. We also showcase the diverse cultures impacting our state with performances by Polish dancers, Irish Musicians, Native American Dancers, Gospel Choirs, Mariachi bands, German musicians, and more. WOB also hosts the annual Juneteenth Heritage Celebration which explores the experience of African Americans in the Brazos Valley and State through music, exhibits, speakers and demonstrations. Tombstone Trail, Christmas on the Brazos, Twilight Firelight and Stagecoach Days are just a few of the other offerings the Foundation underwrites, raising sponsorships through membership drives, and fundraisers. The animals at Barrington Farm are also under our purview as we support their feed and care.
