In Laredito (Little Laredo) on El Camino Real (King\u2019s Highway), stand the last remnants of San Antonio\u2019s original West Side. <\/p>\n

This adobe and caliche-block settlement was home to rancher and landowner Jos\u00e9 Antonio Navarro. Also a merchant, Navarro traded with port cities such as New Orleans for luxury goods including books, cloth, wine, sugar and coffee. <\/p>\n

However, most interesting is his status as one of only two native-born Texans to sign the Texas Declaration of Independence. <\/p>\n

This Saturday, visitors to the Casa Navarro State Historic Site will have the chance learn about the techniques and tools used to unearth his home, which now sits comfortably within a thriving urban metropolis. <\/p>\n

$1-$5, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, Casa Navarro State Historic Site, 228 S. Laredo St., (210) 226-4801, thc.texas.gov\/events\/archaeology-day-casa-nav.\u00a0<\/p>\n
