Our events throughout the year are one of our ways of showing
how the Texas pioneers lived their lives.
Costumed docents and historians show the skills and crafts necessary for daily life,
as well as some which just made their lives a little better.

Dutch Oven Cookoff & Melodrama
Last Saturday in April
This event promises some of the best food in the South cooked over coals. Contestants begin their cooking early so that they will be ready to serve samples to visitors as soon as the Judges get their taste! Prizes are awarded around 1:30 p.m. At 2:30 p.m. our Pioneer Opry Stage will showcase our annual hilarious MELODRAMA. It’s great fun for the audience as well as the actors since everyone is encouraged to boo, hiss, or applaud during the performance.
