Living History Saturday

Travel back in time to where a nation was born in 1836 when staff and volunteers dressed in period clothing provide a unique opportunity for the entire family to discover various aspects of life during the Republic of Texas. This program will feature blacksmithing, 19^th century medicine and quill pen writing. Visitors can sign a copy of the Texas Declaration of Independence; meet militia soldiers travelling through town; and play early Texas games. Activities will vary and some are weather dependent. Traditional tours of Independence Hall will not be offered on this day.  Contact Jon Failor at (936) 878-2214, ext. 224 or jon.failor@tpwd.texas.gov.
