Interested in learning more about the weapons wielded by Crockett, Esparza, and the other brave Alamo Defenders? Join one of our living historians on an hour-long virtual tour around Alamo Plaza as they unpack the mechanics, use, and importance of rifles, muskets, and cannons during the 1836 Battle of the Alamo. Tour-goers will learn about everything from the steps of loading a flintlock firearm to the location and size of the Alamo’s numerous cannons to how the fortress walls themselves could be considered a weapon. This program does conclude inside the Alamo Church. This special guided tour is offered to the first 30 visitors who register online.
