Candy Glidden, a Board Member of the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum delighted children and adults at the Cuero Public Library as she presented the importance of "Saddles, Spurs and Chaps" to the cowboys that drove the Longhorns along the Trail after the Civil War.


Volunteer, Mr. Hal Davis gave a hands-on history lesson to the Goliad County Public Library's "smallest patrons." The children loved the authentic Cheyenne Teepee and the information Mr. Davis shared with them about the Cheyenne tribe. Many of the children (as seen in one of the photos) donned "war paint' and were able to explore the interior of the teepee! Linda Austin and Joella Smith, members of the DRT dressed in period clothing explained items from the 1800s that were in a traveling trunk. These items included a powdr horn, compass, flint and steel, hunting frock and much more. (Photo courtesy of Claudine Janota, Goliad County Library Director)


The Yorktown Historical Museum hosted a Summer Art Camp
July 12-23, 2010. Hats off to Beverly Bruns, Marie Metting-Boles and Jo Ann Henry and others who volunteered their time and talents.
