FOOD PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN THE LIVES of the men, women, and families who lived through the Texas Revolution. In this SPARK! session, participants will explore the ingredients, recipes, and cooking tools commonly used in early Texas by examining artifacts and historical materials from the San Jacinto Museum's collections and archives. Through discussion and hands-on activities, participants will learn how meals were prepared in the 1830s and create their own spice sachet to take home.
