tell the stories of Texas. This is a fascinating museum honoring
the heritages of the settlers who created Texas. Twenty-seven
cultural and ethnic groups are represented in imaginative exhib-
its featuring religious artifacts, household items, clothing, tools
and more. The museum’s outdoor living history area features a
one-room schoolhouse, a “dog-trot” log house, a barn, an army

in the mid- to late 1800s. An excellent bookstore and gift shop
are part of the complex. This institute is part of the University
of Texas system.
