Discover Essential Frontier Skills At The Alamo's "Texas Trades" Living History Event!

Come experience the essential skills required for survival on the Texas frontier during the early 19th century at the Alamo's upcoming living history event, Texas Trades.

The event on Saturday, October 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will transport visitors back in time to witness how the early Texans used trades such as blacksmithing, leatherworking, woodworking, and weaving. Although these skills may seem old-fashioned today, they were vital to frontier survival. Visitors will also learn about the lighter side of frontier life, through toys and music created for all ages to enjoy.
 
Texas Trades is free and open to the public. The Alamo's Living History team, donning 19th-century attire and using 19th-century tools, will provide visitors with a hands-on experience of these trades. Additionally, musket firing demonstrations will take place at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
 
Don't miss this exciting opportunity to learn about the skills that were crucial for early Texans' survival. Join us for Texas Trades at the Alamo to immerse yourself in the rich history of Texas.
