About Casa Navarro State Historic Site

Casa Navarro honors José Antonio Navarro, a rancher and merchant who fought for Tejano rights and was one of two Texas-born men to sign the Texas Declaration of Independence. The site preserves his 1850s adobe and limestone house in the old Laredito neighborhood, once a thriving Tejano area on San Antonio's west side. Visitors can tour the home, join guided or self-guided visits, and attend family programs and seasonal events.
