A field trip to the Alamo, the shrine to Texas liberty, is an excellent way to foster a love of learning and reverence for history from a young age. Groups can embark on an 1836 Battlefield Tour to learn about one of the most iconic battles in history. Groups may also visit the Alamo Shrine church, or explore the exhibits of the Long Barrack Museum. The Alamo Young Couriers is an activity booklet for students, named to honor the couriers who broke Mexican lines to convey their plight of the defenders to the rest of Texas. There is also a scout badge program.
