Todo comenzó en 1881, cuando los tramperos, cazadores y vaqueros intercambiaban cuernos de venado por cerveza o whisky en el salón de Albert Friedrich. Ahora, las salas Hall of Horns, Hall of Feathers y Hall of Fins albergan una de las más grandes y más impresionantes colecciones de fauna nativa y exótica. A quienes puedan impresionarse con cabezas de ciervo montadas, pescado y aves de corral, se les recomienda no ir. Es impresionante lo grandes que pueden llegar a ser los cuernos de venado puede llegar a ser, y la envergadura de los pavos nativos, quienes adoren eso, amarán este lugar.

Al pensar en San Antonio, dos cosas se vienen a la mente automáticamente: El Álamo y el Paseo del Río. El Paseo del Río fue concebido en 1929. El centro tenía graves problemas de inundaciones, y Robert Hugman sugirió que la ciudad convierta al río San Antonio en un activo en lugar de un obstáculo. La creación de Hugman se ha convertido en la esencia de la ciudad. La atracción más popular de la ciudad, que a menudo está llena de gente y de niños, amantes de la noche, turistas y lugareños. En el corazón del Paseo del Río hay una zona llena de restaurantes, tiendas y clubes nocturnos, marcada por las fuentes y los altísimos cipreses. El Paseo está particularmente concurrido durante la Fiesta de San Antonio.
