Events

11am-3pm, visitors can take part in activities that would have been part of a kid's typical day on a Texas ranch -- create a brand, rope a cow, and make butter in a mason jar. See presentations about life on the cattle trail. Best for kids (and kids at heart!) ages 5+. All supplies provided. Suggested donation $5/participant to assist with supply costs.

4-7 p.m. Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at MCB's 2nd annual salsa contest.

5:30 p.m. Jeff Wright, Victoria County Heritage Director and Executive Director of Victoria Preservation, Inc., takes us on a photographic tour of the historic Victoria County Courthouse.

2-5 p.m. Three prominent archaeologists join us for discussions about archaeology in Texas, and in particular the Coastal Bend. Speakers begin on the hour.

5:30 p.m. Bruce Shackelford, Texas History Curator at the Witte Museum, speaks about the cattle industry, beginning with the first recorded cattle drives under Spain. Artifact roundup by appointment.
