Speaker: Bryan McAuley
Site Manager of San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site
Topic:
San Felipe de Austin, founded on the banks of the Brazos River in the fall of 1823, lived a dynamic and engaged existence - hosting practically every prominent figure connected to the Mexican Texas era - before it was sacrificed during the Texas Revolution, burned to the ground as part of a military strategy after its residents were evacuated ahead of Santa Anna's advancing army. Since 2008, the Texas Historical Commission has been committed to reviving the important stories and events of the town's brief life. Site Manager Bryan McAuley will project what his team hopes their upcoming lab facility will allow them to do.
All are welcome - the program is free and open to the public.
