Spring Break at Pioneer Museum will begin Saturday, March 7, when the museum provides learners of all ages a chance to experience the lives of settlers.
The museum will be closed on Sunday, March 8, before continuing its spring break program until March 14. The museum will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
Visitors will have a chance to experience a variety of hands-on activities, demonstrations and reenactments.
Planned demonstrations include: rope making, quilting, spinning and hammering at the blacksmith’s forge and a chuck wagon display.
Reenactors will help guests experience the days of the Buffalo Soldiers. Some reenactors will be dressed as “red rovers,” who defended Texas on the frontier, along with a “mountain man” display on March 14. Children will be allowed to participate in the mountain man activities.
