On the second and fourth Wednesdays in September and October, the museum and the farm will present  "Childhood in Early Texas," an interactive, hands-on program for the entire family.  Discover what life was like for a child in the mid-19th century during a visit to this historic site.  In the museum, learn about childhood chores, clothes, and schools, and then make some old-fashioned toys to take home.  Take a break with a picnic lunch in the pecan grove along  the Brazos River.  At Barrington Farm, experience life on an 1850s Texas farm, strolling through the cotton field, picking a boll or two along the way.  Hours:  10:30 am - 2:30 pm.  Lunch not provided, picnics welcome!  Reservations required.
