"Texas Trades" At The Alamo Cancelled This Weekend Due To Weather

The Alamo's free living history event "Texas Trades," scheduled for this Saturday, has been cancelled due to the extreme weather that is expected.

The Alamo will remain open for visitors, who can still experience tours and the site's normal daily programming. Visitors can also join the Alamo's new membership program, which includes access to special Meet The Experts events where Alamo historians discuss the Alamo battle cannons, archaeology, and more in detail.

Living history demonstrations now take place in Alamo Plaza, where the 1836 Battle of the Alamo happened. These immersive demonstrations go into topics like 1800s medicine, period crafts, artillery, cannon drills, 1700s mission life, and live musket firing demonstrations.

So while "Texas Trades" is cancelled due to rain, we encourage visitors to be safe this weekend and to check out our Living Historians in Alamo Plaza in the future, weather permitting!
