Once home to the wealthiest merchants in San Antonio, the King William Historic District is where you will find preserved and historic Victorian-Era homes. Most homes are lived in by their current residents, while a few have been converted into shops and cafes, offering a stylish experience and fostering educational, recreational, and cultural activities. Take a stroll and enjoy any of the four self-guided walking tours, the King William Area Walking Tour, Along the Acequia Walking Tour, Along the Acequia Concepción, and Along the Acequia Madre.
Artistic passion flows throughout the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture, where they strive to enrich the quality of life by creating art programming and helping people experience art. Being a leader in arts & culture, they manage two free art galleries, welcome film productions, and provide grants to individual arts and nonprofit organizations so they can continue to provide entertainment and education.
Take a step back into the mid-1800s with the San Antonio Fire Museum, where visitors can check out the antique fire trucks, fire-fighting equipment, historical artifacts, beautifully archived documents, and photos. On the kid tours, your kiddos can dress up in authentic replicas of firefighters' turnout gear and climb up on a 1953 International fire truck. They can also take a seat in the small theater and watch short videos on the history of firefighters and how they train today.
