A look at pioneer life in Texas
Institute of Texan Cultures presents 'Pioneer Sunday'
(Oct. 10, 2002)--If you ever wondered if your family could have survived pioneer life in Texas over 100 years ago, this Sunday is a good time to find out. Frontier fun awaits you at "Pioneer Sunday" noon-5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13 on the Back 40 of the Institute of Texan Cultures (ITC).
Help load the covered wagon to set off across the plains, set up housekeeping at the log house, mold a hand-built pot, join the class at the one-room schoolhouse, watch a blacksmith demonstrate his trade, enlist in the cavalry to protect your town, tend to your animals at the petting zoo, learn a Native American craft and finish your day by sitting around the campfire singing along with cowboys. It is all included with the regular admission fee.

Open Tuesday-Sunday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., ITC is located in downtown San Antonio. Admission is $5 for adults, $2 for children (3-12), $3 for seniors (65+) and military (with ID).
