Many people have visited this enchanted area of the Texas Mid-Gulf Coast for many years. The first European to explore the seven bays of Calhoun County was Alonza Alvarez de Pineda in 1519. In February of 1685, Rene Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle landed on the shores near present day Indianola on Matagorda Bay and established the first French fort in Texas named Fort St. Louis. One of his four ships the LaBelle sank and was recently discovered in the waters of the Matagorda Bay. A statue of his likeness is located in Indianola Park.Halfmoon Reef LighthouseKnown as the oldest surviving wooden lighthouse structure in Texas, the Halfmoon Reef Light Station, a six-sided building, is made mostly of cypress wood and originally was attached to iron piles that had been screwed into the shallow bottom of Matagorda Bay. Built in the late 1850s, it guided ships past the treacherous Halfmoon Reef, a mud and oyster shell shoal on the east side of Matagorda Bay. Today it sits proudly next to the Bauer Community Center in Port Lavaca, Texas on Highway 35.

One of the greatest artists of all time, the legacy of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) includes some of the most well-known paintings ever made. But da Vinci's talent exceeded far beyond painting - he was also a successful architect and engineer, and his drawings of military weapons have been highly regarded and studied for nearly 500 years. These drawings capture exceptionally engineered weapons unlike anything that had been developed at the time they were created, yet there is no record that these designs were ever constructed... until now. Discovery Channel's original series, DOING DA VINCI, puts a team of 21st century builders, engineers and historians together to take on one of history's greatest minds as they attempt to build daVinci's weapons once and for all. DOING DA VINCI premieres every Wednesday at 2200hrs (10:00pm SIN/HK), starting August 12. Encores air on Thursday at 0100hrs (1:00am SIN/HK) and 0500hrs (5:00am SIN/HK), Friday at 1500hrs (3:00pm SIN/HK), Saturday at 2000hrs (8:00pm SIN/HK), Sunday at 1400hrs (2:00pm SIN/HK) and 2000hrs (8:00pm SIN/HK), and Tuesday at 1600hrs (4:00pm SIN/HK).
