CELEBRATE MOTHERS & FAMILIES: Saturday, May 11

Historical demonstrations and displays related to mothers, babies, and children including "baby tenders" (think exersaucers/walkers) and baby clothes are the order of the day for this special program celebrating mothers.

Being a mother is a tough and important job, and you can see how Texas women did it in a special Mother’s Day Homes Tour — from log cabin to manor house. Historical interpreters will be present at each site to tell the story of the family that once lived there. Visitors can make a wooden keepsake box to take home.

The festivities will include a tour of our historic homes, something your Mom would enjoy on Her Day.

A special Mother’s Day Tea will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in our historic Wessels Dance Hall, including tea and tasty dessert bites on real china. With a live period music duet and mini-mannequin guided fashion display.

Tickets to the Tea are $10 per person, in addition to admission. Must pre-purchase tickets to the Tea by Thursday, May 9. Held rain or shine. No refunds for Mother’s Day Tea.
