The Susanna Dickinson Museum, located at 411 East 5th St., will mark its 15th anniversary with a special celebration on Sunday, March 2, 2025. From 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., the museum invites families to join in a day filled with music, history, and engaging activities.

The anniversary event will pay tribute to Susanna Dickinson’s enduring legacy and the contributions of Texan women throughout history. Susanna Dickinson, born around 1814 in Tennessee, was a survivor of the 1836 Battle of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. She and her infant daughter, Angelina, were among the few American survivors of the battle. Susanna’s husband, Almaron Dickinson, was one of the defenders who perished in the battle. Susanna’s bravery and resilience have made her a significant figure in Texas history.

Visitors can capture memories at an Old West photo booth, step back in time, and engage in hands-on history at the craft station. Here, guests can create mini fabric flags inspired by the historic Texas flags and the “Descendants of the Alamo” quilt, celebrating the remarkable women who made them.

Guests will have the opportunity to explore museum exhibits, including historic quilts crafted by Susanna Dickinson’s family and local artworks curated by Art from the Streets. These exhibits highlight the creativity and resilience of Texas women.
