Gillaspie Park, Huntsville, Texas

Located at 890 Ave I in Huntsville, Texas.

Lil Dude visited Gillaspie Park in Huntsville, Texas. This nice little park was dedicated in 1937 to honor James Gillaspie, commander of the 2nd Regiment of Texas volunteers at the Battle of San Jacinto, commander of two different companies of U.S. Army soldiers during the US-Mexican war, and commander of a Confederate Army unit during the Civil War. Technically, Gillaspie served three countries in three wars - Republic of Texas, United States, and Confederate States of America.
