Camp Wallace...Located in Jack Brooks Park

Santa Fe Area Historical Foundation, Inc.

***CAMP WALLACE - LOCATED INSIDE OF JACK BROOKS PARK
A 2022 SALLY B. WALLACE PRESERVATION AWARD was presented to Robert Bear, Shana Rawls, Ralph Stenzel & Darrell Matula in recognition of outstanding projects and craftspeople involving the preservation, restoration, and enhancement of Galveston County’s historic buildings & neighborhoods. 
Three of the awarded are members of both the Galveston Historical Commission and the Santa Fe Area Historical Foundation, and one is a very dedicated volunteer that actually started the Camp Wallace cleanup project.  
The project has been a labor of love for military history and our local (Hitchcock, Texas) community history.
If you get a chance, drive through Jack Brooks Park and read the signs that go along with the ruins
