“Things that happened here changed the borders of the US, and we need to remember those things -- some of them good, some of them bad. Sometimes we get along, and sometimes we're all at war with each other, but we're still here, and we need to move forward remembering what's happened,” said Texas history curator Bruce Shackelford.
There’s also plenty on military history in the exhibit, including the keys to the Alamo.
The cost of admission to "Confluence and Culture" is an extra $5 after museum admission.
