Living historians re-enact the night before the siege

What would it have been like to be present at the Alamo during the siege leading up to the battle?

Watch history unfold at this special, after-hours, live theatrical event. Step back in time to witness the actions and conversations of the Alamo Defenders and residents like James Bowie, David Crockett, Susannah Dickinson, and William Barret Travis in the hours before the final, fateful attack. Witness history and commemorate this experience by campfire and candlelight.
