| Latest News: "SAN ANTONIO – The Grand Canyon is on the list. So are Stonehenge and the pyramids at Giza.
Soon, San Antonio hopes to add its five 18th-century Spanish missions – including the Alamo – to UNESCO's list of world heritage sites.
This year, the missions were added to the World Heritage Centre's 'tentative list' from the United States for possible addition to the 878 properties worldwide that the Paris-based U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization says form 'the global cultural and natural heritage that have universal value.'"

Hello from Kermit, Texas! Glad to see Texas leading the way in a good category!
It's mostly in a good way all the time.
Hooray! The Alamo deserves to be recognized worldwide. And did you know that Arthur Hunnicutt once played Davy Crockett in a movie? Apropos of nothing, of course.
