The Alamo is a 300-year-old site with global significance as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, representing not just the 1836 battle but also Indigenous, Spanish colonial, Mexican, and Texas Revolutionary history, attracting international visitors who see it as an American and global story.
The Alamo is owned by the people of Texas and managed by the Texas General Land Office, with daily operations led by Alamo Trust, Inc., and funded through a $550 million public-private investment.
The three pillars are: 1) Preservation of the Alamo Church and Long Barrack, 2) Reclaiming the historic battlefield footprint, and 3) Building a world-class visitor center and museum with eight galleries telling the 300-year story of Texas history.

Ongoing archaeology continues to shape preservation and interpretation, with recent excavations uncovering over 250,000 artifacts near the Long Barrack including musket balls, weapon fragments, and Spanish mission-era flooring, allowing visitors to see active archaeologists at work.
