The Alamo


This past Saturday my classmates and I met up downtown to visit the Texas Alamo. The temperature felt very warm for a late morning and comfortable enough learn more about the Alamo. We all took a visit with Dr. Winders and he told us the different versions of what he has heard took place during the time of the Alamo as we walked around.
The site I found very interesting when we all entered the exhibit and found many different artifacts such as coins, buttons, swords, their wardrobe, pottery and books to name a few. Each of the set or sets has a paragraph talking about it. Inside the exhibit I enjoyed the paintings that tell different events of what happened during the Alamo. It gave it a much better picture of how the people lived before. For example: “The Army Hospital of 1806”. The painting showed a family making a visit to see a doctor and a few men in uniform. The painting looked very life like as if you actually looked out the window and stood in their shoes. I tried to imagine how the Alamo looked eliminating all the large buildings of today. It made it very easy for me to get a clear picture of the surroundings of the Alamo and the story of what took place. My visit to the Alamo was a very great learning experience for me reading from the many different articles and books to watching films about the Alamo. After visiting the Alamo, it made my learning experience complete.
