2023-9-13 Sul Ross University and Alpine Murals

 Sul Ross Normal College opened in 1920 and became Sul Ross University in 1969. The main campus is in Alpine but they also have campuses in Del Rio, Uvalde, and Eagle Pass. Enrollment was 2119 in Fall 2023. College rodeo started here. 


They also have a great museum which many of us toured. It's all about the Big Bend area.

The rest of this post is a tour of the many murals around the town of Alpine. We tried but I am sure we didn't get them all.


Do you remember Dan Blocker maybe more well known as Hoss Cartwright from the Bonanza TV show? He was from Alpine.








You may recognize some of the musicians in this mural.







It was an interesting tour of Alpine to check out the many murals.

Alpine figures prominently in the Big Bend country as it is the largest town in the area although it is about two hours away from the national and state parks.
