Celebrate 220 Years of Col. Juan N. Seguín!

This Saturday, October 24, join us for an informal gathering to honor Col. Juan N. Seguín on his 220th birthday. He is one of Texas’s most important and too often overlooked heroes. Whether you’re a history buff, a proud Texan, or simply curious about the man our city is named for, we’d love to see you there!

Born in San Antonio in 1806, Juan Seguín was a Tejano patriot who stood up for Texas independence when it mattered most. He served at the Alamo and was sent out as a courier to seek reinforcements. He then went on to fight at the decisive Battle of San Jacinto. After the revolution he served as a senator of the Republic of Texas and as mayor of San Antonio. His life is a powerful reminder that the story of Texas was shaped by people of many backgrounds who were united by courage and a love for their home.

This is a relaxed, come-as-you-are event. Bring your family, your friends, and any stories you’d like to share. It’s a chance to come together as a community, reflect on Seguín’s lasting legacy, and pass that history on to the next generation.

Please share this post and tag someone who loves Texas history. We hope to see you Saturday as we honor a true Texas hero together!

Hosted by the Seguín Family Historical Society
