IN THE EARLY 1800s, MUCH OF THE CLOTHING was not ready-made pieces, but handmade clothes. People not only made their own clothes but dyed them a variety of bright colors through the use of natural dyes. Join us at the Monument where our educators will guide visitors through some of the natural dyes used at the time of the Texas frontier. Participants will get the chance to hand-dye some cotton to take home.
Suitable for kids aged 5 and up; younger children are welcome but will need to have an adult to help. This activity is free with purchase of an adult ticket to the San Jacinto Museum. On San Jacinto Family Day, kids are admitted for free when accompanied by a parent or grandparent.
