ABOVE, A traditional shield used by Scottish clans in battle. RIGHT, The left wall of
the first room at the Central Texas Area Museum shows maps, relics and artifacts
from the reconstruction and early statehood of Central Texas from 1865-1900 and
tells the story of the Robertson Colony. It also has mannequins dressed in period
clothing pertaining to the periods on display and relics, artifacts and stories about
the Tonkawa Indians native to this area for centuries before Texas settlers arrived.
Museum: Details about Central Texas
history found close to home in Salado
Continued from B1
of the Tonkawa as well,
and the Tonkawa joined
up with the Apache Indians – another extremely
war-like tribe. They eventually became friendly with Texas
and other southern divisions,
and by 1837, they had drifted
south and left the Central
Texas settlers in peace.
The museum also tells
the story of Central Texas
throughout every period from
colonization up to today.
Colonization is displayed
in detail from 1825-1836
and then on to the Texas
Republic period from 18361845. The museum then
moves on to the era of early
statehood from 1846-1861
straight into the 1861-1865
confederate period.
The other two exhibits on
detailed display at the museum are the reconstruction
and later statehood and also
the Robertson family colony.
Also, many counties in
by their current residents –
mostly people who care about
the preservation of Salado
and Central Texas history.
Learning about the Native
Americans who used to live on
this land was really interesting to me, because I’m always
looking for new stories and
books about where certain
Indian tribes in the country
were and who they had to
deal with when the “white
men” were moving in.
The
Tonkawa
Indians occupied everything
from Western Oklahoma
to Central Texas and into
Western and Eastern New
Mexico.
They were an incredibly
strong war-like tribe, which
battled for close to two full
centuries on this land with
Spanish inhabitants.
By the 18th century,
U.S. settlers became foes
ABOVE, The game of checkers was one form of
entertainment used by the settlers in the 1800s
and 1900s, made from sliced ears of corns and
painted to determine sides. It was played very
much how today’s game of checkers is played.
RIGHT, A mannequin dressed in traditional early
Scottish battle dress is on display at the Central
Texas Area Museum, though the kilt would be a
different color depending on the clan.
Central Texas were named
after men who had Scottish
surnames.
There is a lot to learn about
our Central Texas home,
and knowledgeable staff who
are happy to tell about every
Central Texas connection
and heritage.
The Scottish connections
are many, and there is information at the museum about
every clan, from clan patterns and clan history to their
journey from Scotland to the
Carolinas and into Central
Texas.
Make sure to stay up-todate on the upcoming gathering of the Scottish clans of
Texas in November.
