San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Texas, tells the story of the region's history and cultural evolution, from Native peoples adapting to Spanish colonization in the early 1700s to present-day mission descendants sharing their oral histories.
Visitors can explore the park through ranger-led programs, educational materials, and an Artist-In-Residence program, while also learning about the significance of acequias, irrigation ditches that played a vital role in the area's agricultural development.
