“A 125-foot-wide waterfall on the Cumberland River — one of the largest waterfalls in the eastern US and one of only two places on Earth (with Victoria Falls) where moonbows regularly form. Historic DuPont Lodge provides classic resort architecture.”
About This Location
Presidio La Bahia in Goliad, Texas is the best-preserved Spanish colonial fort in North America—the original 1749 stone fortifications, bastions, and chapel standing virtually intact on the San Antonio River where 342 Texas soldiers were massacred in 1836. The presidio's weathered limestone walls, arched chapel interior, and central courtyard create an authentically preserved 18th-century Spanish frontier military environment ideal for Spanish colonial period drama, Texas Revolution narratives, and Southwestern frontier productions. Both interior and exterior filming available, including the original chapel that remains an active parish. The private management structure allows formal film use agreements with flexible production scheduling. A benchmark Texas film location for Spanish colonial and early Texas Republic-era storytelling. Filming permits available through Presidio La Bahia Events Office. Formal institutional film use agreements available. Active chapel services require scheduling coordination.
