Join the Alamo this April as we hit the road for a tour across Texas!
The Alamo invites Texans to learn about ongoing preservation work happening at the state’s most well-known historic site and to share their own family stories, documents, and artifacts related to Texas history and the Texas Revolution.
The Alamo Roadshow is an opportunity for history enthusiasts to learn more about the plan to preserve the Alamo and to build the state’s largest Texas Revolution museum. All the “treasures” attendees bring to the events will be documented by the Alamo team, and could help shape the future of exhibits and historical interpretation at the Alamo.
Historians and curatorial staff from the Alamo and the General Land Office (GLO) will be on hand to help attendees evaluate and document stories and artifacts. Roadshow presenters will also bring several artifacts from the Alamo and GLO Archives that will someday appear in exhibits in the forthcoming Alamo Museum and Visitor’s Center.
