How to bake history
Monday, November 28, 2022 by Tai Moses
The parks department is helping Austinites introduce a little history into their holiday traditions, via free gingerbread ornaments that can be decorated as figures from Texas history. As part of the third annual Gingerbread History Heroes program, Brush Square Museums will be distributing salt dough “gingerbread cookie” ornaments and decorating supplies to participating sites, including the Elisabet Ney Museum, Asian American Resource Center, Carver Museum, French Legation State Historic Site, Old Bakery & Emporium and the Park Ranger Station at the Zilker Caretaker Cottage. Community members may pick up the ornaments from Dec. 2-31.
