We have been studying the Civil War in History, so it was a perfect time to take a field trip to the Texas Civil War Museum!
The museum is located in White Settlement and is a GREAT place for a field trip!
They had quite the collection of authentic Civil War relics.
This is a first copy of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin:
Grant's cigar:
And his sword:
This display had things from the real Walker Texas Ranger:
The miniature display was really impressive, too!
Robert E. Lee:
They also had a collection of Victorian dresses.
And the hat Vivien Leigh wore in Gone with the Wind.
They had items from both the Union and Confederate sides and I learned so much about how Texas was involved in the war. Everyone really enjoyed the museum!
