ROPES WERE A VITAL TOOL with several purposes for life on the Texas frontier. For our Rope Making program, visitors will learn more about rope - what it was used for, how it was made, and what it was made of - as they make their own length of rope using the techniques and similar materials used by the various populations of 19th century Texas.
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.
