People who visit San Antonio, Texas have an opportunity to explore the Alamo and learn about its history and the battle. If you’re a history buff like me you may want to put it on your list of places to visit.
“This was an incredible experience...it wasn't that the place itself awed me, but it is what it stands for that really moved me. These men gave their lives because they knew that what was going on was wrong. They staked their lives to defend the Republic of Texas.” said Doug M. a user of yelp.com
“You don't really need an actual tour to go through the Alamo. You can see almost everything by walking in the main building yourself. However, it was really interesting to go and listen to the guide tell the story of the place. It makes the experience much more moving.” said Jenn01salts a user of igougo.com.
Visitors have different ways to get into the Alamo. According to thealamo.org people prefer to enter into the old church or modern shrine. The church as artifacts that belong to the Alamo Heroes such as Travis B. Williams ring, Davy Crockett’s buckskin, rifle and Bowie knife.
Next after leaving Shrine people can choose to turn right and go to the Alamo garden. If they turn left, that will lead them to the Wall of History according to thealamo.org. The site states that at if people want to learn more about the Alamo’s 300 year long history they should spend some more time at this exhibit. The Mexican military artifacts are held in the Long Barracks Museum at the Alamo.
“I'm glad I got to touch this piece of history. I'm 25 and I finally got to visit this historical place. Do I fully understand the significance of this place? Of course not, but I do appreciate its beauty and how it is a symbol of freedom for so many Texans.” said Tiffany a user of yelp.com.
