The Descendants of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred is dedicated to preserving the heritage and honoring the legacy of the courageous men and women who settled Stephen F. Austin's first colony in Texas. Through genealogical research, historical preservation, and educational outreach, we strive to ensure that the stories, sacrifices, and contributions of these pioneering Texians continue to inspire present and future generations.
Walk Where Texas Happened
Experience the Places Where Your Family's Story Began
Imagine standing where your ancestors once stood—walking the same streets, visiting the same churches, and exploring the communities they helped establish more than 200 years ago. There's no better way to connect with your family's history than by experiencing the places where it unfolded.
Throughout the year, members travel together to battlefields, settlements, ranches, museums, cemeteries, historic homes, and other landmarks that tell the story of Stephen F. Austin's first colony and the founding of Texas. Every field trip is part history lesson, part family reunion, and part Texas adventure, offering opportunities to learn from historians, explore significant sites, and share stories with fellow descendants.
More than a genealogy organization, we're a community of families preserving the legacy of the Old Three Hundred by experiencing history where it happened. Along the way, we deepen our appreciation for our ancestors' courage and sacrifices, strengthen friendships, and create new memories while honoring the people who helped build Texas.
Whether you're visiting an ancestral gravesite, touring a historic settlement, or simply enjoying lunch with new friends who share your heritage, you'll discover that every journey brings Texas history—and your own family story—to life.
