From the 35-foot-tall bronze star sculpture that greets visitors as they arrive, to the campfire scene in the terrazzo floor in entryway that features a campfire scene with enduring themes from Texas's past, every corner of the Museum proclaims the "Story of Texas" in a bold and new way. Attendees will enjoy dinner from "The Salt Lick", famous for their world-renowned Bar-B-Que. The Salt Lick began as an open barbeque pit in 1967 and has grown from there. The founding Roberts family now serves mouthwatering barbeque to thousands of folks each week. |
