Feeding an army was a battle of its own during the Texas Revolution! Both Mexican and Texian troops grabbed whatever food they could find on the move — from cattle to cornfields — using everything from cast‑iron pans to frontier tools like clock jacks and cradle spits. Soldaderas helped keep the Mexican army fed, while Texian soldiers often had to fend for themselves.

Step into their world!
Explore replica camp‑kitchen gear, smell frontier cooking, and learn how soldiers survived on rations and preserved food on the march.

Fun for all ages; children must be accompanied by an adult.

We would love for you to join the Friends of the Texas Historical Commission and Sarah Page as we take a trip to discover how the Texas Heritage Trails Program and TexasTimeTravel.com can connect you to the places and stories that shape Texas! Across the state, small towns, historic sites, and cultural landmarks are connected in ways most travelers never see. The Texas Heritage Trails Program brings those connections to life through ten regions that invite you to slow down, look more closely, and experience Texas in a more meaningful way.

With TexasTimeTravel.com as your guide, you can discover curated itineraries, hidden gems, and meaningful experiences that turn a simple trip into something more. Join us to learn how to plan a heritage getaway that goes beyond the checklist and into the stories that make Texas, Texas.
