Where Texas Ranching Began: La Misión EXHIBIT OPENING
Date: Oct 12, 2024
Time: 11:00am - 1:00pm
Location: Museum of the Coastal Bend

In the Coastal Bend of Texas, a unique way of life originated that bound together people, animals, and land. Introduced by Spanish missionaries, shaped by Indian and Mestizo vaqueros, strengthened by Mexican colonists, and transformed by American ranchers, ranching took root here. The Coastal Bend is where Texas ranching began, where it evolved through diverse cultures, and where it still lives today.

Where Texas Ranching Began is a permanent exhibit housed in the museum’s new Borchers Leon Exhibit Hall. It shares the history of the Coastal Bend’s ranching heritage from 1721-1920. The full exhibit will open incrementally over the next two years. This will allow visitors a peek behind the curtain, so to speak, and demonstrate how exhibits come to life.
