Final Day on View: Bypassed by Freedom but Building a Legacy

Please join us for the final day on view of our our special exhibit, "Bypassed by Freedom but Building a Legacy," highlighting the stories of the enslaved in San Felipe de Austin.
Starting Saturday, May 23rd, learn about five different people who lived in San Felipe de Austin under enslavement: Mary Marks, Turner Morgan, Celia Allen, Joe Travis, and Simon Austin. Each of these people impacted the town's story in numerous ways. From witnessing the Battle of the Alamo to being the subject of the first trial-by-jury in Texas, these people's legacies go far beyond the years they lived.
The last day to view this exhibit will be on Labor Day Monday, September 7th.
