Washington on the Brazos! (Museum)

Here are pictures I took at the Star of the Republic museum. I was not able talk to curator. I wish I had taken more pictures, but my phone died and I forgot my camera at home.

This exhibit shows pictures and items used by the Caddo Native American tribe. The Caddo tribe was situated in northeast Texas, north Louisiana, and south Oklahoma and Arkansas.   

This exhibit shows the different kinds of Native American tribes. The 2 types that are shown were the hunter-gatherers, such as the Tonkawas and the Coahuiltecans, and the coastal fisherman, like the Karankawa. The exhibit also displays items such as baskets, spearheads, and a bow.

This display shows a swivel cannon used by the Spanish Navy, which came from a ship destroyed at the Spanish Armada disaster at England.

These two exhibits show the settlers who came to Texas in search of land and wealth. Thy exhibits also show that the settlers brought the bare minimum to survive.

These last two pictures are of Texas soldiers. The exhibit also shows the weapons and other objects such as  casks and containers used by the militants. At the top of each wall there is a timeline of the events that happened during the Texas Revolution.

Lastly, this is a video of three reenactors playing dulcimers. It sounded beautiful and I would like to listen to it again. The song they played was Skip to My Lou.
