As part of the fort’s Spring Break Week programming, guests can meet “The People of Fort Concho,” from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 21, on the Barracks 1 porch. There will also be trained volunteer guides in several of the fort’s historic buildings, providing stories about the many men and women, children and others who called Fort Concho home between 1867-89.
The Frontier Ladies Living History Weekend returns March 14-15 featuring a program of speakers discussing the children of the Alamo and families at western frontier posts, as well as hands-on activities including sewing a historical apron and building a hat or bonnet appropriate to the late-19th century. Registration is required, and a participation fee applies. To reserve your spot, contact Sarah Thieme at 325-650-316.
