Hey Texan! What do you know about the Lone Star State?

As you are undoubtedly aware, Texas has a history as large as the state itself! And our upcoming exhibition - Texas! Making History Since 1519 - will explore the unique roles that Texas has played: as a Spanish colony, as part of the Mexican Frontera, as an independent Republic, and as the 28th state to join the Union.

As it happens, we have an outstanding former Texas history teacher here at the Museum, Amanda Norris, who developed a quiz that we could put online for people to see how much they know about our great state.

Would it be way to easy for natives? Too hard? We headed into the Grand Hall on a Friday afternoon to find out.
