    Experience a lantern-led tour of our historic grounds as you witness one of the most captivating episodes in Texas history brought to life!

    Hear the story of Dawson and Mier Expeditions as you've never heard it before. Walk our historic trails at night and experience the turbulent times of the Republic of Texas era through six theatrical scenes. Gather around the campfire to enjoy Spooky Stories before or after your tour.

    These Lantern Tours are a nighttime, guided walk along our bluff trail. The length of the tour is approximately one hour.

    What’s cooking in the Kreische kitchen? 

    In celebration of the upcoming America 250, join us for tasty demonstrations celebrating America’s unique and multicultural food history from 19th-century Fayette County. 

    This month’s program will focus on a German-Texas inspired menu, including sausage in the smokehouse, hearty German soup, and a home-baked treat made on our wood-burning stove. Chat with our living history interpreters, tour the house, and take in all the delicious smells.
