San Antonio Missions National Historical Park

The San Antonio Missions National Historical Park – comprised of Mission Concepción, Mission San José, Mission San Juan, and Mission Espada – is part of the only World Heritage Site in Texas. We will visit three of the four missions and the Espada Dam and Aqueduct. Dr. Frank de la Teja -- an expert in Spanish, Mexican, and Republic-era Texas -- will provide historical context during our tour.

Celebrating Steve Davis
Steve Davis, long-time friend to Lifelong Learning-San Marcos, is retiring from his position as literary curator of The Wittliff Collections at Texas State University.
In addition to his work at The Witliff, Steve is an award-winning author and editor. He received the PEN Center Literary Award for Research Nonfiction for Dallas 1963 and his books range from the first-ever anthology devoted to Texas Mexican literature (Hecho en
Tejas) to the inside story of Timothy Leary’s prison escape (The Most Dangerous Man in America) to the writers who helped turn Austin into a cultural mecca and made Texas (almost) chic (Texas Literary Outlaws).
Through his involvement with LifeLong Learning, Steve has provided our community with outstanding literary presentations that both informed and inspired. Please join The Wittliff and Lifelong Learning in honoring our friend by contributing to the Steve Davis Publication Fund, which will support ongoing Wittliff research and publications.
To make a donation, CLICK HERE for the The Wittliff Collections giving page and select “Steve Davis Publication Fund” in the drop-down box.
Thank you for helping to honor Steve’s outstanding career at the Witliff!
LifeLong Learning is now an affiliate of the Aging Forward Alliance!
Aging Forward (formerly Shepherd’s Centers of America) is a nationwide alliance of 56 dedicated affiliate organizations serving more than 165,000 older adults each year. Through this alliance of committed volunteers and sponsoring partners, Aging Forward has reached more than 2.5 million older adults since it's founding in 1974.
LifeLong Learning joined the Aging Forward Alliance due to (1) our shared mission: providing opportunities for older adults to live and age with vitality; and (2) the benefits offered: access to a Speaker’s Bureau, the Affiliate E-Exchange (an online library of resources), national outreach initiatives, and opportunities to network with other affiliates across the country.
We look forward to expanding our learning opportunities through engagement with Aging Forward and its affiliate organizations!
