25th Annual Texian Market Days

October 25, 2008

Join us for our biggest celebration yet for our 25th Annual Texian Market Days. For 24 years, Texans (long-time residents, new neighbors and "temporary" Texans) have enjoyed a living view of Texas' past. On October 25, 2008 folks will gather again at the George Ranch Historical Park to celebrate Texian Market Days.

Texian Market Days is a celebration of Texas history that includes costumed historical interpreters and volunteers presenting vignettes of daily lives and heroic moments from the early days in Stephen F. Austin's colony (1830s) through the late years of the Great Depression and World War II (1940s)along with toe-tapping old-time tunes, an antique tractor show and pull (in collaboration with the Texas Antique Tractor Pull Association), arts and crafts from around the region at the Texian Market Place and so much more. Texian Market Days is a fund-raising event supporting the educational programs of the Fort Bend County Museum Association, including the George Ranch Historical Park and the Fort Bend Museum.
