In the spirit of remembrance for Pearl Harbor and American military service
worldwide, the Buffalo Gap Historic Village is offering a special lecture
about the creative ability of American soldiers during World War II. This
unique experience allows our guests to understand how GIs took skills of
improvisation honed during the Great Depression and fashioned them into
the tools of victory.

| Rhino Tanks and Sticky Bombs is the second lecture in our new Chautauqua Learning Series. The Learning Series is based on the Chautauqua
movement which spread throughout the rural United States in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries. It provided educational lectures and entertainment
for average Americans before the advent of mass media like radio and television.
The Texas Frontier Heritage and Cultural Center™ is proud to continue the
spirit of that tradition in the unique setting of the Buffalo Gap Historic
Village. |
