Acton State Historic Site

Acton State Historic Site is Texas’ smallest historic site with a total of just .01 acres. The historic site is located in old Acton Cemetery in Hood County. It is the burial site of Elizabeth Crockett, the second wife of Davy Crockett — one of the defenders of the Alamo.
Although this is not a traditional «park», like all old cemeteries it is rich with history*
It’s the tiny fenced zone around the grave of Elizabeth P. Crockett, Davy’s second wife. Elizabeth was granted land in Texas for the bravery shown by Davy Crockett at the Alamo. But she waited 17 years to claim it, and by then all of the good spots in Texas were taken. So she ended up having to give a surveyor half of her savings to find a tract worth claiming. Her grave was declared a state park in 1911, and the Texas Legislature paid $ 2,000 to erect a tall pillar with her statue on top, looking west, waiting for Davy to come home.**
