In the early 1800s, much of the clothing were not ready-made pieces, but handmade clothes. People not only made their own clothes but dyed them a variety of bright colors through the use of natural dyes. Join us outside of the San Jacinto Monument where our educators will guide visitors through some of the natural dyes used at the times of the Texas frontier. Participants will get the chance to hand-dye some cotton to take home.
