The Lake Jackson Historical Museum is excited to bring The Vaquero: The First American Cowboy to the Alden B. Dow Office Museum. Learn about the cultural evolution of Mexican vaqueros and the influence they’ve had over Texan life, including here in Lake Jackson! The exhibit will be supplemented with photographs from our collection that detail the importance of cattle ranching and horseback riding among Lake Jackson’s early residents such as Dr. A.P. Beutel.

The Vaquero will be on view at the Alden B. Dow Office Museum on Saturdays from 10 AM – 4 PM and Tuesday – Fridays by appointment from September 2nd through October 14th. You can make an appointment by emailing director@ljhistory.org or calling (979) 297-1570.
