    I'm glad we all got to see this historic place...

    With the passing of Texas Icon, Virginia F. Webb Shahan, a difficult business decision has been made by family members. Alamo Village is closed to the general public. Our gates have been open to the visiting public and to the film industry for fifty years. At this time, we choose to close the gates of Alamo Village in order to reconstruct management and possibly redirect our efforts toward new positive goals. The future possibilities for this historical movie set are many. At present time, managers and owners continue with sound decision making even in the midst of a troubled economy. Our future goal includes the pursuit of continued business relations within the film industry, producing more and even larger trail drives and promoting individual group tours. As decisions are finalized, announcements will be made to the general public.

    I feel very fortunate to have gotten to go when I did even if the temps were 101* at 9:00am in the morin.

    It was truly a experience to see and be there with friends.

    Saw the Alamo when I was stationed at Ft. Sam for Medic training in '69 but never got to go in. Sure would have liked to though.
