I was hoping that Alamo Village's problems would be solved and that it would be opened on time for the big solar eclipse of 2024. I guess that's not going to happen. Too bad. What better place to watch the shadow roll in than from the Alamo ramparts?

This place is Heaven to the conservatives who believe all those Alamo lies, fables and legends of the Alamo. However, the real Alamo is where it is at folks! That is where Davy Crockett surrendered to the Mexican soldiery, only to be executed within moments. Where Travis committed suicide at the north wall, when he saw all was lost, and James Bowie died hiding under his cot covers, as he was killed. Some heroes' folks, as you all will agree! What we need at the real Alamo in ole' San Antone is a Memorial to the 123 Mexican soldiers who died there defending their country from armed & dangerous illegal alien invaders from the States!

@@ToddP It's not a stupid question, because MANY people have quoted that flop of a movie as being the truth about he Alamo death struggle. As for your "leftist revisionist" statement, this only proves that the cover-up was created by conservative so-called historians, in order to butter up the Alamo defenders in a good light, and not the Mexican soldiers who were just defending their homeland from a gang of armed & dangerous illegal aliens from the States. YES, REMEMBER the Alamo folks, a MEXICAN victory for all time! Soon there will be a Memorial there to honor those 120 Mexican soldiers who died there defending their country. BTW, it makes me proud to see Texans celebrate a Mexican victory every year folks! Makes me proud of them all.

Where are the big money people ? This is a part of history and why isn't state of Texas doing something ? Where are all these rich Texans , oil people , sports ? Almost 200 Texans fought and died for the land that these people made their fortunes off ! At the turn of the last century , it was the rich that made the Grand Canyon and other parks ours , they cared . Where is the money and more important , where is the care ? Pathetic ! It will be the little guy as usual , who will pitch in and do something , just like the little guys who defended those walls . What would John Wayne think or David Crockett ?

@@NaturalRagman ... Wayne made a deal with "Happy", the only problem was, he didn't get it in writing. So no wonder the latter reaped the rewards.

Visited in early 1990's. It was still an active movie set. The day I visited a Japanese movie company was filming a "Western". It was funny as Hell to see a 5' tall Japanese actor dressed in fancy cowboy garb with two "six guns" in his gunbelt swaggering down the Alamo Village dirt main street speaking his lines in Japanese.

My father is from San Antonio. I remember seeing Alamo Village when I was a kid....like mid 70s. Talk about in the middle of nowhere. IIRC, the Alamo they built was 100% accurate, as near as they could tell from maps and descriptions from the time of the battle, to the real Alamo as it was during the battle except for one thing...size. Alamo Village is only 2/3rds the size of the real Alamo.
