Star of the Republic Museum Online Collection
The Star of the Republic Museum’s collection
is unique and irreplaceable, and includes three dimensional artifacts,
as well as prints, maps, paintings, original manuscripts, rare books,
and early historic documents, primarily from the Republic period.
Where else can a person see the oldest known Lone Star Flag (ca.
1839); the only remaining copy of the Tarantula, a newspaper
published in Washington, Texas; personal letters from Stephen F.
Austin and Sam Houston; or a walking stick which belonged to Anson
Jones, the last President of the Republic of Texas? Thanks to a
grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, these artifacts
can now be viewed online.
