Last week I was invited to attend a media event for Battle for Texas: The Experience. Born in raised in the Alamo city, I couldn’t wait to join my fellow bloggers (along with our guests.) to experience over 250 artifacts together for the first time. We experienced the daily lives of early Texas settlers, the tensions leading up to the Texas Revolution, and the climactic battle in which the Alamo defenders sacrificed their lives for the cause of freedom.
Bowie, Travis, Crockett, Sequin, and Santa Anna. They’re all represented in this incredible collection of many never-before-seen artifacts. This unforgettable, curated exhibition provides views with an in-depth perspective on the stirring story of the Battle of the Alamo. You’ll come away inspired by the historic battle and beaming with Texas pride. Displaying the world’s most historically significant Alamo artifacts and connecting them through heart-racing multimedia re-enactments to the past they left behind.
