Sponsored by: Texas Historical Commission; San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site
Celebrate Texas Archeology Month every weekend in October by visiting one of the state’s most distinguished and unique archeological sites. San Felipe de Austin was burned to the ground during the Runaway Scrape of 1836 as fleeing residents evacuated ahead of Santa Anna’s advancing Mexican army. Throughout weekends in October, site staff and volunteers will be engaged in active excavations, field analysis, themed walking tours and other archeological activities.
