Family Fun + Texas History =
Spindletop Museum at Lamar University in Beaumont
When you are looking to add an education element to your family fun day, the Spindletop Museum is a great resource.
They host a number of special family events each year. Past events have featured horses and blacksmithing, linotype printing, Old West style gun fights, vintage baseball, and more. Each event typically includes a re-enactment of the historic Lucas gusher blowing (today’s re-enactments feature a column of water rather than oil).
Typically there are an assortment of games and activities for children and refreshments.
