Kali-Kate BBQ, Exhibitors' Outdoor Equipment Demonstration and Presentation by Dr. Jim Bruseth
Dr. Bruseth will discuss how archaeologists from the Texas Historical Commission located and excavated La Belle, called by Smithsonian Magazine one of the most important shipwreck discoveries ever made in North America. He will also present some of the mysteries surrounding the wreck and the plans for a world–class exhibit of La Belle at the Bullock Texas State History Museum. His talk is titled “From A Watery Grave: Discovery and Excavation of La Salle’s shipwreck, La Belle.” We may even have an opportunity for selfies with a live longhorn steer! Be sure to practice your horseshoe toss and bring your camera. There’s also a cave on-site. Sponsored by:
