NEW TRAIL RIDE EXHIBIT AT BRENHAM HERITAGE MUSEUM

  

A new exhibit at the Brenham Heritage Museum tells the stories of the various trail rides that lead to Houston to launch the annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

The exhibit is titled “All Trails Lead to Houston” and is available for a limited time.

The original trail ride, the Salt Grass, began in Brenham and was founded by Reese Lockett and friends, inspiring dedicated rides and continuing to this day.  The exhibit features photography from Ray Viator, the author of “All Trails Lead to Houston: Riding to the Rodeo”, supplemented with local trail ride artifacts.

Hours at the museum are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.  Admission is $5 for adults and free for children 12 and under.  Museum members get in for free.
