Summer Nights at the Museum – River Crossroads

July 11, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Come one! Come all! The final Summer Nights at the Museum adventure is here!

The featured River Crossroads exhibit will be the setting where families discover the great social and technological feats of the 20th century. A Scavenger Hunt will lead explorers through activities and games that teach how water was pumped from the river to canals for irrigation, how train conductors would communicate with depot workers and how the Rio Grande Valley’s citrus was picked, packed and shipped. At the end of the night, turn in your completed Scavenger Hunt for a special prize from Raising Cane’s. Don’t forget to stop by Raising Cane’s table for free lemonade!

Choo choo! Did you hear that? It’s 1904, and the railroad has finally reached South Texas with trains full of modern farming equipment and new people looking to make a living. Let’s send it back with fresh citrus and cars full of vegetables while watching our families and cities grow too.

Dress like a Mexican revolutionary, learn how the railroad impacted the region and use a decoder to decipher secret military telegraphs. Be transported into the WWII era by learning to spot enemy planes and working on a recycled goods drive. All at the Museum of South Texas History!
