The South Texas Historical Association in conjunction with the City of Alamo Museum will be holding an international symposium on South Texas history Friday and Saturday, Nov. 1-2.
The association’s fall conference at Bowie Parental Engagement School in Alamo will be celebrating the uniqueness of South Texas’ heritage with a panel of more than a dozen distinguished speakers, along with exhibits about World War II and model railroading, and a variety of vendors. The symposium, which is part of a 65-year tradition of sharing and educating people on South Texas history, kicks off with a 6:30 p.m. reception on Thursday, Oct. 31, at the City of Alamo Museum, 130 South 8th Street. The open house will include a meet and greet with the speakers and conference members along with refreshments. A patriotic quilt gift to a U.S. service veteran is also being planned that evening. The two day symposium is free except for a $10 catered lunch each day. To pre-register or to gain more information, stop at the City of Alamo Museum, at 130 South 8th Street, or phone 956-961-4398.
