The Lone Star Monument and Historical Flag Park is designed to serve multiple purposes.

The MONUMENT:

The centerpiece will be the life size bronze entitled "The TEXIAN."

He holds the Lone Star Flag that will also be in bronze.

The monument is designed to be a historically correct depiction of the common man that volunteered for the Texian revolutionary army. The man represents all of the fighting men and
not one particular person.

He will stand on a grass berm that is elevated and supported by a round retaining wall. Around the retaining wall will be a circular sidewalk so people can view the monument easily from all sides. Directly in front of the monument, placed upon the berm and extending to the edge of the retaining wall, will be a bronze plaque describing "The TEXIAN."

The FLAGS PARK:

Represented in the park will be the significant flags flewn during the Texas revolution and as Texas became a sovereign nation.

These flags will fly behind the monument. At the base of each flag pole will be a bronze plaque that describes the flag and it's role toward Texas independence.

The BUST:

The CHARLES B. STEWART Dedication and Recognition granite monument and bust at the entrance of the park will be a four sided granite monument with a bronze bust of Charles B. Stewart adorning the top. The monument will be five feet tall and three feet wide on each side. On the side facing the park entrance, visitors will see the face of Charles B. Stewart. Beneath him, on a bronze plaque, will be his history and directions to Montgomery, Texas, where he made his home.

On the remaining three sides of the granite monument will be carved the names of all the individuals, groups, and businesses that were involved in the making of the park.

The PURPOSE:

Our hope is that this display will serve as an educational tool for the citizens of Texas, become a source of local pride and inspiration for Montgomery County, and enhance heritage tourism by being a point of destination for the great number of tourists that pass through this area daily.
