Stephen F. Austin Monument, Angleton, Texas

Stephen F. Austin Memorial

This memorial to Stephen F. Austin is along Hwy 288 near Angleton, Texas.  In the picture you are looking north and a bit east along northbound US 288. The highway sign visible is telling of the upcoming Angleton exit.

Apparently it is about a 76 foot statue and was finished in January of 2009.  Here is a link to a closeup photo on Flicker and much more information.
