Museum as it presents the Ninth Annual Austin Town on November 4-5. A
living history re-enactment, Austin Town recalls and celebrates the lives of
those pioneers who settled Colonial Texas from 1821 to 1832. Set just north of
Angleton, the fictitious “Austin Town” features character interpreters,
demonstrators, sutlers, militia drill units, and period games. The purpose of
this event is to provide an educational and entertaining experience.
