Special Focus: “Children’s Pastimes and Playthings” – This children’s day will focus on hands-on activities for kids. There will be several stations with fun, engaging activities including period games, toys and interactive historical demonstrations. In the days before cell phones, TVs and computer games, early Texas children found delight in activities such as Button Whizzers, Corn Shuck Dolls and Hoop Races.
