## What is Texas 1836?

Explore the historic site of Washington-on-the-Brazos with this magic window into history. 

See the town of Washington as it looked in 1836, when delegates from all parts of Texas came to write the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the Republic of Texas. Through the magic of augmented-reality, the app presents a virtual town of Washington, full scale and overlaid on the historic site for you to explore.

IMPORTANT: 
• This app is primarily designed for use at the Washington-on-the-Brazos Historic Site, southeast of College Station, Texas. (No wi-fi or cell service required after downloading the app.)
• To explore the 1836 virtual town elsewhere, choose the Offsite Tour. 

Discover the town by walking around the historic site, meeting the people and exploring the buildings as they were in 1836. Toggle between the full virtual world and the augmented-reality view that superimposes buildings and people against the modern environment.

Washington-on-the-Brazos, the birthplace of Texas, was a crucible of Texas democracy, the place where Texans gave voice to their grievances, forged their Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and brought forth a new nation: the Republic of Texas. Download the app and see it like never before!

*2020-04-03, version 1.3a*

### 5/5 — Awesome

LOVE ITTTTTT

### 5/5 — This game changed my life

*2019-11-04, version 1.3a*

This game helped me get through my depression. I was addicted to chic fil a sauce until I was scrolling through the App Store and found this gem. At first I just thought oh this is just another “educational” game but boy was I wrong. The incredible graphics and main storyline made me bust a nut even in no nut November. I immediately went to my local chic fil a and threw a match on to the stack of napkins to get revenge for fueling my addiction and ran back home. As I was driving home a police car started to follow me and scared me so I started speeding to get away. After I got on to interstate 69, a police helicopter came after me so I got off the highway at the nearest exit in order to get home. After I drove through my garage door I immediately locked myself in my closet to spend my final moments playing Texas 1836. As I write this review the local police are breaking down the door of my house in order to take this precious game from me. Btw if the FBI is reading this I didn’t burn down a chic fil a.

### 1/5 — Fix glitch please

*2019-08-02, version 1.3a*

Whenever I try to go on, it glitches out. Please fix!
