Big Bucks Heading for Alamo

The March 6th Daily Morning News reports that the Daughters of the Republic of Texas has approved a $60 million capital improvement project for the aging Alamo. Some will go to repair damaged walls and a leaking roof as well as a 48,000 square foot building with a museum, exhibit hall, research library and meeting hall.

Two and a half million visitors come each yewar to visit the birthplace of Texas. Back in 1836 a small force of Tejanos and Americans withstood a 13 day siege before subcombing to larger Mexican forces under General Santa Anna.

We visited the Alamo about ten years ago and found it to be quite an experience.
