A Vision For Alamo Plaza

It is one thing to talk about what changes should be made but it is another thing to envision it. We would like to share with you a glimpse of a future Alamo Plaza that can be possible with your support.

Documentary filmmaker Gary Foreman has shared with us a vision that will take you through what an Alamo Plaza that has been reclaimed and redesigned to properly honor the history and people of this historic area. Mr. Foreman has been working on this project since 1982 and the Texas Nationalist Movement is proud to join forces with him to work to create a more reverent and respectful memorial and learning experience in Alamo Plaza.

Gary Foreman traces the project to a day in 1982 when he was crossing Alamo Plaza, then still open to traffic in front of the church, and a taxi nearly ran him down. He says most visitors don’t realize they’re standing inside the original compound, because only the church and part of the long barracks survive.

The first part of his plan rebuilds the compound’s walls: the south wall and main gate, the low barrack, the southwest corner where the battle’s largest cannon stood, and the west wall. The second turns the old post office at the north end of the plaza into a museum and multimedia center, with the north wall rebuilt inside and room for private collections. He also proposes moving the Cenotaph to the south end of the plaza, since most historians agree the defenders weren’t burned inside the compound.

Foreman wants the plaza to honor everyone who fought there, including the Mexican soldiers who fell below the north wall. He contends no one would accept the plaza’s current atmosphere at Lexington and Concord or Pearl Harbor.
