From Theodore Roosevelt to George W. Bush, United States presidents have used the powerful iconographic symbol of the heroic American cowboy to define themselves and their administrations to the nation and the world. In this election year, the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum explores the fascinating and ongoing intersection of cowboy culture and presidential politics in Cowboys and Presidents.
Celebrate the exhibition opening from 1-4 pm on Sunday, October 19, with cowboy storytellers and other performers from Bandera, Texas, “The Cowboy Capital of the World,” and meet Texan Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Sam Houston in the exhibits. Make a cowboy hat of your own to wear home! Create a special leather craft at our family leather stamping workshop ($2 materials fee applicable). Fun for everyone.
