Texian Market Days has grown into a favorite fall tradition. For the past 24 years, Texans (long-time residents, new neighbors and "temporary" Texans) have gathered at the Fort Bend County Museum Association's Texian Market Days to enjoy a living view of Texas' past. On October 24 (schools) and 25 (general public), folks will gather again at the George Ranch Historical Park to celebrate the 25th annual Texian Market Days.
The festival will include costumed staff and volunteers presenting vignettes of daily lives and heroic moments from the early days in Stephen F. Austin's colony (1830s) through the late years of the Great Depression and World War II (1940s), along with toe-tapping old-time tunes, an antique tractor show and pull (in collaboration with the Texas Antique Tractor Pull Association), arts and crafts from around the region at the Texian Market Place and so much more. Texian Market Days is a fundraising event supporting the educational programs of the Fort Bend County Museum Association, including the George Ranch Historical Park and the Fort Bend Museum.
