Before the battle of the Alamo, before the Declaration of Texas Independence… The Spanish Governor's Palace was the original Commandancia for the Captain of the Presidio de San Antonio de Bejar. Built in the early 1700s, the presidio played a pivotal role in the colonizing of San Antonio.
Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
