Children can play school in the Old Gay Hill school house and visitors to the dog trop Log Cabin will see a loom and other implements from the period. There will be a black smith in action, stitchers on the porch, and live dulcimer music. Step back in time to the early days of Texas and see what life was like for these early Texans.

The Brenham Heritage Museum invites the public to attend their new Freedom Colonies exhibit at the Bus Depot Gallery.

Little is known about much of the African-American experience in those post-Civil War years, and museum officials say that they look forward to introducing that history to a new audience. The Gallery is open every Saturday from 10am-4pm. Other visitation times are available by appointment. The Freedom Colonies Exhibit runs through March 26.
In conjunction with the exhibit will be the first installment of the Seth McMeans Lecture Series on Monday, February 28, at noon in the Bus Depot Gallery. The guest speaker is Dr. Andrea Roberts of Texas A&M University. She will explore a half dozen of the largest Freedom Colonies in Washington County. Dr. Roberts will provide both overall background and specifics about the local communities. The Seth McMeans Lecture Series is free to all Brenham Heritage Museum members and only $5 for non-members. For more information, visit their website at www.brenhamheritagemuseum.org.
