Destination El Paso

El Paso is the largest international border community in the world and is currently in the midst of a renaissance and is currently experiencing unprecedented growth and development. The city you think you know has changed dramatically in the last five years and will continue to do so due to public and private investment projects. Assets such as El Paso International Airport, recently recognized among the top airports in both the United States and Canada for outstanding customer service, a multi-purpose arena, downtown street car system, new convention hotels, museums, parks, libraries, trails and a zoo expansion will make El Paso America’s next great meeting hub. Known as the Mexican Food Capital of the Nation and only city in the state of Texas with a mountain range, our authenticity and blend of Texas, Mexican and Southwestern heritage is what makes El Paso a cultural hub.

Jamestown Settlement and the new American Revolution Museum at Yorktown

Jamestown Settlement and the new American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, two Williamsburg area living-history museums, offer compelling year-round experiences through films, immersive gallery exhibits and interactive living history in outdoor settings that engage visitors in the story of America’s beginnings. At the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, stories of citizens and soldiers of the Revolution unfold in gallery exhibits and films, including the “Siege of Yorktown” experiential theater, and in re-creations of a Continental Army encampment and Revolution-era farm. At Jamestown Settlement, gallery exhibits and films chronicle 1600s Virginia in the context of its Powhatan Indian, English and African cultures, complementing outdoor re-creations of a Powhatan Indian village, three 1607 ships, and a 1610-14 fort.  A special yearlong exhibition, “TENACITY: Women in Jamestown and Early Virginia” explores captivating and little-known personal stories of the women in Jamestown and the Virginia colony and runs from November 10 2018 to January 5, 2020.
