Preservation Month May 1st- 31st
Alamo Images: Changing Perceptions of A Texas Experience
Beginning May 1st, the Interurban Railway Museum will present “Alamo Images: Changing Perceptions of A Texas Experience,” an exhibition organized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University in Dallas and produced by Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Through photographs, illustrations, artwork and text, “Alamo Images” presents a story that has captivated several generations of audiences. The exhibition explores what the Alamo means to Texans and the role of Mexican-Texans in the Texas Revolution. Dozens of photographs and artwork give viewers of this exhibition interesting visuals to illustrate the history of the Alamo as mission, fort and shrine, as well as the drama of its siege and fall in March 1836.
The Plano Conservancy for Historic Preservation presents “Alamo Images” as a means to promote ongoing dialogue about the significance of the Alamo as a Texas experience, as seen through its various representations in popular culture.
The exhibition will be available to the public from May 1 to June 3. For more information about viewing hours or to arrange group visits, contact Jeff Campbell at jcampbell@planoconservancy.org. This Preservation Month exhibit is presented in partnership with Humanities Texas.
