October 24, 2025 - The Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT) William Carroll Crawford Chapter held their second meeting of the 2025-2026 year and had their Traveling Trunk on display.
After taking care of Chapter business, the group enjoyed hearing from Maggie Casto and Gail Sholar about their experiences with presenting the Traveling Trunk program for different groups whether young or old and how much they enjoy it. The DRT Traveling Trunk has a wide variety of items pioneers would have used daily during the time of the Republic (1836 - Feb 19, 1846). The Chapter shares this information with schools, civic groups or any place that will let them come in and explain early daily life in Texas history.
If you would like to have the DRT bring a program to your group or school, talk to any DRT member or email magztx41@gmail.com.
