Past Events

Kids have entirely too much energy! Let’s burn some off with the Iron Kid Triathlon! Swim 50 meters, Bike 1 Mile, and Run a ½ mile. Kids will need their own bikes to participate. All participants will get a t-shirt and medals. Registration opens September 1.

Visit the historic archeological site of Major Abner Jackson, the namesake of the city of Lake Jackson. Once a prosperous sugar plantation, the site was destroyed by the same hurricane that devastated Galveston. Discover the sugar making process of the 1840s, how convict labor replaced slave labor during the 1870s, and how destructive the hurricane of 1900 truly was to the Texas Coast.

Celebrate the season and learn about harvest time on a 1800's plantation. Hayrides, crafts, sugar cane, storytelling, and more.
