Historical Marker
Our chapter placed a marker in 1979 at San Pedro Springs & Park, 1415 San Pedro Ave., San Antonio. The springs provided water to the San Pedro Creek, although they don’t currently flow due to drought and usage by the Edwards Aquifer. San Pedro Springs Park, declared public land in 1729, is the second oldest park in the United States and the oldest public park in Texas.
San Antonio had so much rain in the spring of 2016 that San Pedro Springs began flowing! Below is a picture taken in June. Others are on the photo page.
We contribute to the project of the National President, which is currently the building of an outdoor learning pavilion at Historic St. Mary’s City Museum, Maryland, an archaeological and living history museum of Maryland’s first colony and capital.
