For all you that have seen the Alamo, you should drive down to Goliad. The Alamo is a tourist trap that, while a sight to see, is so busy and overrun that you can't fully appreciate the magnitude of what happened. Goliad, on the other hand, is desolate. It is quiet, tranquil and untouched compared to the Alamo. You can really get a sense of the scope of what happened in the span of 3 months, especially when you look at the monument erected where Fannin and his men were heaped onto a pile and burned.
