It’s the 15th anniversary of the Susanna Dickinson Museum
Tuesday, February 25, 2025 by Beth Bond
This weekend is a celebration of the 15th anniversary of the historical museum honoring Susanna Dickinson, one of the few survivors of the Battle of the Alamo and a messenger after its fall. A family-friendly celebration will be held from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, March 2, at the Susanna Dickinson Museum, 411 East 5th St., with live music and activities focused on Texas history. “The event will honor Susanna Dickinson’s legacy and the stories of Texan women throughout history,” according to a news release from the city. “Visitors can step back in time at an Old West photo booth and spend time at a craft station where attendees can create mini fabric flags inspired by the remarkable women who created historic Texas flags and the ‘Descendants of the Alamo’ quilt.” For more event details, visit the museum website.
