Located in the heart of San Antonio, the Alamo stands as the Shrine of Texas Liberty. More than 1.6 million visitors travel to the site each year, making it the #1 most visited destination in the State of Texas. The 300-year history of the Alamo is world-renowned and represents the core of Texas’ identity today. In 1960, the Alamo was designated a United States National Historic Landmark, and in 2015, it became part of the Lone Star State's only UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

The Alamo belongs to the people of Texas. In 2011, the Texas Legislature and Gov. Rick Perry designated the Texas General Land Office (GLO) the custodian of the Alamo on behalf of the people of Texas. The GLO contracts with Alamo Trust, Inc. to care for the Alamo grounds and historic structures, develop educational programs for visitors, and tell the story of the Battle and its role in Texas history.

Alamo Trust, Inc. (ATI) is a non-profit charitable organization under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) that manages day-to-day operations and staff at the Alamo. ATI is proud to offer daily activities such as entrance to the historic Alamo Church and Long Barrack, school visits, a Living History encampment and demonstrations, educational film, and special exhibits, all free of charge.

All of its income and expenses are tracked and reported through the Texas General Land Office, and all revenues generated on-site are deposited with the Texas State Comptroller.
