Join us Jan. 21 at the Washington on the Brazos State Historical Site for a special presentation on hunting in the Republic of Texas. Relive the excitement of the frontier as interpreters in period costume tell of hunting adventures and explain the vital role hunting played in settling the west. Come examine the many tools of the Hunter’s trade or feel the pelts and hides of some of the animals that were prized in the 19th century.

You may be surprised by how similar modern hunting is to the practices of the past. Presentations will be given at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 3:00 p.m.
