Winter Texan Wednesday: Leatherwork in the Rio Grande Valley

February 7, 2018 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The Museum of South Texas History welcomes northern visitors from across the Rio Grande Valley with its new Winter Texan Wednesday series. This bimonthly program, scheduled from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., will introduce guests to the museum and its select stories from our region.

Museum staff will guide visitors through a short tour of the galleries which will highlight a different part of the exhibit. Following the tour, visitors will be invited to the Courtyard Gallery. Once settled, staff and guests speakers will lecture further on the topic of choice.

Winter Texan Wednesday series is included in the regular museum admission fee. Adults (18-61) $7 and Seniors (62+) $5. This presentation is not available for group tours and no reservations are required. For group tours, please contact the Education Department at 956-383-6911 or e-mail mrodriguez@mosthistory.org

ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION
Echoing the theme of MOSTHistory’s Pioneer Ranching and Crafts Day, museum staff members Tom Fort and Joseph Fox will present the different uses of leather crafted by mankind including residents of the Rio Grande Valley. After all, a cowboy — or vaquero — wouldn’t be able to get far without a good pair of boots! Fort and Fox will also provide a mini-guided tour of the River Highway exhibit featuring ranching items donated from the McAllen Ranch.
