Lunch on your own
Sunday, Jan. 7, $35 pp
Depart SCPL 10:15 a.m.; return 5:30 p.m.
Tickets for this event go on sale on Wednesday, Nov. 1 @ 8 a.m. Take an epic journey through the history of Texas. Within three floors of exhibits at the Bullock Museum, conquistadors, cowboys, oil barons and suffragettes have gathered to tell us their stories of Land, Identity, and Opportunity. From first encounters with Native Americans by European explorers to the frontiers of the 21st century, you will find it is a mighty big tale.
Our visit includes a special exhibit created by the National Constitution Center, American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition. This interactive tour will take you back in time to an era of flappers, bootleggers, temperance workers, and real-life legends like Al Capone and Carry Nation. We will also visit the first whiskey distillery in Austin since the prohibition era. Still Austin Whiskey is a grain-to-glass distillery that focuses on creating authentic whiskeys using the hot Texas climate, local grains, and limestone filtered water, to deliver a whiskey as unique as Austin. Our pre-tour lunch stop will be at the Downtown Diners, where you will find an eclectic mix of restaurants such as P.F. Chang's, Uncle Julio's, Cedar Door, Gus's Famous Fried Chicken, Crepe Cafe, Max's Wine Dive, and Moonshine. Maps and menu suggestions will be provided. Ticket cost include transportation and tour fees. Volunteer Trip Leader: Jerilee Prather |
