Beautiful so much history. Finding out that the Mexican people were also slaves but they weren't called slaves but laborers. Where's the justice for the Mexicans that are here in the USA????
Best hidden gem with a statue of the Virgin Mary and beautiful church
It's a small dam, but it's pretty cool. The sound is calming. You can stand below and above it. The dam creates a little waterfall. It's worth checking out if you're in the area, walking or riding your bike along the path.
I love riding my bike to this spot and appreciate the history of the old handmade marker / plaque. The diversity of the plant and animal life in the river near the old dam is a big plus as well. Great spot for a picnic!
I love little secluded places where I can sit by the water in peace. I was lucky enough to run across this beautiful little dam. It’s a perfect little place to clear your mind and just enjoy your surroundings.
I'm a history & nature enthusiast so when I found this place on Google maps I knew I had to go see it.
Beautiful architecture and historical placards to help understand. Nice grassy area nearby for a picnic or just a quick rest. The dam is right off of the River Walk hike) bike trail in South San Antonio.
