Episode 32: Preservation Month
May marks Preservation Month. Preserving and conserving the Alamo Church and Long Barrack are paramount to the Alamo Plan, as well as safekeeping all the artifacts we continue to uncover that might otherwise be lost to history.
Today we reveal the work being done every single day to keep these fragile buildings standing, the dynamic duo charged with historic preservation, and how their seemingly opposite occupations work in tandem, toward a shared and sacred goal. Featuring the Alamo's Conservator Pam Jary Rosser and the Alamo's Archaeologist Dr. Tiffany Lindley.
