Gone to Texas: Pack Your Wagon!

One of the super exciting things happening at the Museum these days is the "History Rising" campaign. This campaign was started to renovate the Museum and completely update the exhibits, which were last updated in the 1980s. Today, we thought it would be fun to give you a preview of one of the new hands-on activities that will be in the new gallery!

Imagine you are a pioneer and you want to pack your belongings to start a new life in Texas. What items would you take with you?

DOWNLOAD THE ACTIVITY PDF HERE.

Space is limited in your wagon, so you'll have to decide: Do you need medicine or coffee? A shovel or a plow? A stove or a washtub?

These cubes and wagon are based on the new activity (but they're not exactly the same!) so you will have to come and see it in person when everything is done!

​Learn more about History Rising and how you can get involved here.
