Alamo Cenotaph: Promise Kept To Preserve In Place
The Alamo proudly held a rededication ceremony on Tuesday marking the successful preservation of the Alamo Cenotaph. The event also marked the 85th anniversary of the Cenotaph's original dedication in 1940, which also took place on Veterans Day.
The Cenotaph will soon be complemented by landscaping and lighting, allowing it to be admired both day and night.
Holiday Cheer: Flagpole Converting Into Tree Of Lights
Work begins next week to convert the newly-installed flagpole at Plaza de Valero into a holiday tree of lights. Crews will rope off impacted areas and the Alamo does not expect nearby businesses to be affected.
We will illuminate both the Plaza de Valero tree of lights and our annual Christmas tree on Alamo Plaza over the Thanksgiving holiday week.
Future Alamo Plan Progress
