Back 40 The Back 40 tours at the Institute of Texan Cultures offer unique, hands-on learning experiences in a historical Texas setting. The Back 40 is the museum's outdoor living history area and is home to a one-room schoolhouse, a log house, a barn, an army fort barracks, and an adobe house—all typical of Texas in the 1800s. Each building serves as an ideal setting for a Texas history lesson. Back 40 tours feature knowledgeable instructors in authentic costumes demonstrating and describing the daily lives of early Texans in the 19th century. Students and tour groups will experience firsthand the hardships and joys the early Texans experienced and will have fun learning in the process. For reservations at one of the most unusual classroom settings in Texas, please call (210) 458-2291. Specialty tours will be available from 1 to 2 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. Weekend tours are available with two weeks' notice and are limited to 20 guests. Tours for grades 1-12 can be scheduled for 10 a.m. or 11:30 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. |
