The battle ended a few miles from what is now a Baytown nature-center parking lot. The monument is in La Porte, and it is still the correct second half of a Lynchburg morning: free ferry, Burnet Park, then Independence Parkway to One Monument Circle.
570 feet of limestone, a museum, the observation deck, the film Texas Forever! Museum Wednesday–Sunday; the battlefield is daily 9 to 6. Adults 12+ are $14 for the full monumental experience (galleries, deck, film). The grounds are the point even if you skip the elevator.
This is not inside the city limits. It is inside the story. A Baytown guide that omits it is pretending the channel is only industry.

Ferry first. Monument second. Observation deck if the sky is clear.
Local tip. From Baytown, the east approach is I-10 to Independence Parkway and the ferry, or 146 to 225 to 134 if you want to skip the water.
