TEXIAN MARKET DAYS AT HISTORIC GEORGE RANCH

Originally settled in 1824 as part of Stephen F. Austin's Colony by Nancy and Henry Jones, this 23,000-acre working ranch stands as a testament
to the independent spirit of Texas. In the years since, the ranch has passed through four generations and grown into one of Fort Bend County's landmarks.

Texian Market Days is a celebration of Texas history that includes costumed historical interpreters and volunteers presenting vignettes
of daily lives and heroic moments from the early days in Stephen F. Austin's colony (1830s) through the late years of the Great Depression and
World War II (1940s)along with toe-tapping old-time tunes, an antique tractor show and pull (in collaboration with the Texas Antique Tractor Pull Association),
arts and crafts from around the region at the Texian Market Place and so much more.

Texian Market Days is a fund-raising event supporting the educational programs of the Fort Bend County Museum Association,
including the George Ranch Historical Park and the Fort Bend Museum.

The Fort Bend County Museum is one of only three museums in the Houston metropolitan area to receive accreditation from the American
Association of Museums for excellence in maintaining the highest standards in the profession.
