Don't miss the Texas Camel Corps at the Alamo on Saturday, June 20th from 9 am to noon! 🐫

For a brief time in the 1850’s, the U.S. Army experimented with using camels. Camels had key advantages when compared to horses and mules, like being able to traverse areas with severe heat while using very little water. During this brief experiment, camels were used at the Alamo during the time that it was a U.S. Army outpost in the 1850’s.
