 Historical shrine of Texas' independence |
300 Alamo Plaza San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 225 1391 http://www.thealamo.org |
Originally the Mission San Antonio del Valero, the Alamo is by far the most famous historical site in Texas, playing a significant role in Texas' quest for independence from Mexico. Under the command of Col. William Travis, 189 Texan soldiers bravely defended this fort for 13 days before finally succumbing to Santa Anna's massive Mexican army in early 1836. The chapel and the Long Barrack are all that remain of the fort. Saved from civilian apathy by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, the mission is now a museum containing relics from the era. Texans take the Alamo very seriously. Narrated tours are available. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A taxidermist's heaven |
318 East Houston St San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 224 8000 http://www.buckhornmuseum.com |
It all started in 1881 when trappers, hunters and cowboys traded deer antlers for beer or whiskey at Albert Friedrich's saloon. Now, the saloon/museum's Hall of Horns, Hall of Feathers and Hall of Fins house not only the largest, but also some of the most impressive collections of native and exotic wildlife around. If you're squeamish about mounted deer heads, fish and fowl, then don't go. If you're awed by how large deer antlers can grow to be, by just how large of a mouth that a large-mouth bass can have, or at the wingspan of native turkeys, then you'll love this place. You can even bring in a set of antlers or a stuffed fish to trade at the bar for a whiskey or sarsaparilla. Admission is $9.99 for adults, $7.95 for children ages 6-12 and seniors. Children younger than 6 are admitted for free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Special activities are available for children as well. Admission is $2 for adults; 12 and under are free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The church's day care center is one of the best in the city, with a strong curriculum and highly qualified teachers; as a result, the waiting list is long.

Located directly across from the Alamo, this museum displays shocking wax mannequins so similar to the heroes, celebrities and fictional characters they represent that it's almost creepy. You'll see Jim Carrey, Charlton Heston, Frankenstein, Dracula and many more. You'll feel like you got your money's worth in this odd two-for-one museum. With Ripley's Believe It or Not!, you'll find yourself saying, "I didn't know that," "Ooo, gross!" and "Holy cow!" The weird items should be safe for kids, but if you have a squeamish little one, don't go into the cellar. Admission is $13.95 for adults and $6.95 for children. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Essence of San Antonio |
454 Losoya (runs through downtown) San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 227 4262 http://thesanantonioriverwalk.com |
When you think of San Antonio, two things automatically come to mind: the Alamo and the River Walk. The River Walk was conceived in 1929. Downtown had serious flood problems, and Robert Hugman suggested that the city turn the San Antonio River into an asset rather than a hindrance. Hugman's brainchild has since become the essence of the city. The city's most popular attraction, it is often crowded and filled with children, party goers, tourists and locals. In the heart of the River Walk is an area filled with restaurants, shops and nightclubs, punctuated by fountains and towering Cypress trees. The River Walk is particularly crazy during Fiesta.

The San Antonio Central Library (also known as the "red enchilada") is a modern addition to this old town. It was completed in 1995, at which time there was much controversy over the building color. With vibrant purple and yellow accenting its red exterior, the new library is hard to miss and looks fantastic. Within its walls lie a six-story atrium, a genealogy collection, an art gallery and a terrace for special events. And as this is a library, you will of course also find a plethora of books, as well as an excellent children's library and a wonderful media center. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Although construction did not begin until 1749, this cathedral was established in 1731 by the Canary/Spanish Islanders, who sought to build their own place of worship. It is the oldest cathedral sanctuary in the United States. The famous Alamo defender James Bowie was married here and during the siege of the Alamo Santa Anna used it as an observation post. Notable historic figures Bowie, William Travis and Davy Crockett are buried here. The cathedral still draws huge crowds for Mass and always welcomes visitors. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Originally home to the Ursuline Academy School for Girls in the 19th century, this historic property was purchased in 1965 by the San Antonio Conservation Society.

Today the center is where creative adult and child artisans of all skill levels learn and teach. With expert instructors, this is the place to learn traditional and contemporary arts and crafts.

This is the "most beautiful building" in the city according to the National Geographic Society. This national historic landmark was originally the official residence of the Governor of the Spanish Province of Texas in the late 18th century. The building is like a step back in time, replete with period furnishings, small rooms with low ceilings, and thick stucco walls. The cobblestone patio features beautiful foliage and a fountain supposedly haunted by a former resident. Most noteworthy is the original keystone over the entrance, which bears the carved, double-headed eagle from the Hapsburg coat of arms along with an inscription, in Spanish, reading "finished in 1749."

Worship in a historical church |
315 East Pecan St San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 226 2426 http://www.stmarks-sa.org |
The cornerstone of St. Mark's was laid in 1859, but the onset of the Civil War delayed construction. Work resumed in 1873, and the first service was held on Easter Sunday in 1875. An interesting note about this church is that Lyndon Baines Johnson and Claudia "Lady Bird" Taylor were wed at this location on November 17, 1934. This was also the first Episcopal Cathedral built west of the Mississippi River. The first Sunday service is the 7:45am Holy Eucharist. At 8am, breakfast is offered for a small charge, while another Holy Eucharist is offered at 9am. The children's chapel is also in service at 9am. At 10:10am, an all-age-group Sunday School is offered. The third Holy Eucharist takes at 11am and is followed by "Tea Under the Trees." If you are looking for a traditional Episcopalian service in a very historical church, this may be just the place for you to visit. Review © 2007, Wcities |
