The Bullock Museum tells the story of Texas. When you enter the museum, you’ll interact with the earliest parts of Texas history, which pre-dates European contact in the Americas. As you move up the stairs, you’ll be moving forward in Texas history until you reach modern-day.
First Floor:
With the earliest object dating more than 16,000 years ago, Becoming Texas begins with the first people to step on the land, early American Indians, and the tools and materials they used to hunt, gather, and build.
“Becoming Texas is an immersive environment that uncovers Texas history with the most contemporary research on our past. This one-of-a-kind journey through more than 16,000 years of Texas history documents the rise and fall of nations up to Mexican Independence in 1821.”
Second Floor:
“This gallery explores Texas history from 1821 to 1936. Discover the personal stories and the people, places, and events that shaped the state as Texas moved through revolution, annexation, immigration, the economics and human cost of slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Depression-era extravagance that highlighted the state’s 100th birthday.”
Thank you so much for sharing this invaluable information! I love this summary of events. Especially for the Talent Show and Boats of Barton events, I will encourage my cohort to go together!
This museum is very interesting! I will visit it!
Also, all the activities sound great!
Thank you for sharing it 🙂 !.
