Fun Fact

Did you know...

The Port of Indianola is where the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers landed when they came to Texas from New Orleans. This is the same port where the US Camel Experiment entered Texas before the Civil War. Indianola was once a larger port city than Galveston and Corpus Christi. A series of hurricanes destroyed Indianola in the late 1800's.

Keep Connected

Texas Buffalo Soldiers bring history to life with stories, costumes and tools.

At one of our programs, you can learn how to track an animal, fish with a cane pole or cook over a campfire. We play traditional games, use the sun to find directions, learn Native American skills, and even saddle a horse.

We make connections between history and the outdoors. Our goal is to not only share history, but to share our Story.

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and help share our story!
