Texas History Tuesdays: Spanish Missions in Texas


Event details

A museum educator, primary sources and engaging content is a winning educational combination. These programs are typically taught to the elementary and middle school public, but we invite anyone looking for a rewarding and fun experience to connect with us.

10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.

1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Why did the Spaniards try to build missions in Texas? What effect did this have on Native Americans living in Texas? Were these Missions a success or a failure? Explore these questions alongside a museum educator using maps, timelines, and historical information.

You will be able to ask questions during the questions and answers at the end of the program. No supplies needed, but if you want to add extension activities, see below.
