The Fort Bend Museum Presents:
Summer History
July 2024
This year, we are celebrating diversity by highlighting some of the original groups whose culture influenced Fort Bend County. With a specific focus on Indigenous Tribes, Africa, Czechoslovakia, and Germany, each week will include an informational area and exhibit to guide visitors through these countries along with an activity aligned with the week's theme. Summer History activities and corresponding exhibits will be an additional offering included in the museum’s regular ticket price.
