Jose Miguel Arciniega was born September 20, 1793 in Coahuila, New Spain (Mexico). On his 220th birthday, September 20, 2013, JMADS dedicated the Arciniega House to commemorate him. We also conducted research to write the inscription as to highlight his attributes and accomplishments during his thirty-six years of service to Texas. This beautiful bronze plaque was also donated to the San Antonio, Marriott Plaza Hotel, and installed in the hotel's courtyard, adjacent to the back porch of the Arciniega House.
