UHV international students visit the DWC Museum, Turkeyfest

The DeWitt County Historical Museum at 312 East Broadway was host to a tour group of University of Houston Victoria students enrolled in the UHV International program. Trip coordinator Julie Buchhorn from the program arranged for these students to see the Great Gobbler Gallop, the Turkeyfest Parade, and local museums. Students from Columbia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Mexico and other countries learned about life in 19th and early 20th century Texas, the importance of the railroad, the Cuero tie to Indianola, and even something about log cabin life. Of particular interest was a broom machine in the log cabin that once belonged to Ms. Buchhorn’s grandparents.
