Happy birthday, Bob Bullock
Thursday, July 7, 2022 by Tai Moses
This Sunday, the Bullock Texas State History Museum is throwing a party – a birthday party to celebrate the legacy of its namesake Bob Bullock. Free admission from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., family-friendly activities, a photo booth with costumes, and free sweet treats are just some of the temptations in store. Visitors can also try the museum’s new Star Cafe, which offers breakfast, lunch and snacks. As Bullock Museum Director Margaret Koch said in a release, Bob Bullock “dreamed the museum would be the place where people of all ages would engage with our dynamic history while growing in their understanding of what makes us who we are, often noting that to know where we are going we have to know where we’ve been. On the anniversary of his birth, we welcome everyone to come out, explore, and have some fun.” Sunday, July 10, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Bullock Texas State History Museum, 1800 N. Congress Ave.
