The Stone Fort Museum is taking history on the road with two workshops that explore the natural and cultural history of El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail. Join us for one and one-half days of intensive learning that will give you the knowledge and know-how to interpret and teach the trail.
Two locations - Natchitoches, Louisiana and Victoria, Texas - will provide a rich setting in which you will learn from trail historians, walk a portion of the trace and share ideas with fellow educators.
The cost for each workshop is $60 and includes all sessions, a field trip and four meals. Choose to attend one, or both, workshops. Space at each location is limited, so register now.

El Camino Real de los Tejas Education Workshops are made possible by Challenge Cost Share funds through the National Trails Intermountain Region Office of the National Park Service. Additional support comes from Cane River National Heritage Area in Louisiana and Victoria Preservation, Inc. in Texas.
The campus of Stephen F. Austin State University is home to a fort, and not just any fort. A fort that was a trading post, private home, church, jail, and saloon - but never a fort. A fort that was built three times, and a fort that was torn down by men to be re-erected by women. Read more about the history of the Stone Fort.
