Volunteers and re-enactors demonstrate settler life in Stephen F. Austinâ€™s colony during the 1820s and early 1830s. Old-fashioned crafts, demonstrations and period re-enactments bring the homestead to life.

AtÂ Pioneer Day, held the second Saturday in November, and Homestead Heritage Day the second Saturday in February, visitors can travel back in time by making corn husk dolls, bonnets, lye soap, beeswax candles, and much more. See how the early inhabitants of Texas made and used their tools and weapons.
