Celebrate the Briscoe’s ninth birthday with a special day of bison fun! An iconic symbol of the American West and part of the Briscoe’s logo, the bison is an indelible part of the wildlife and story of the American West. Enjoy birthday cupcakes, hands-on bison crafts all day, and hear Caprock Canyons State Park Superintendent Donald Beard discuss the “Official Bison Herd of the State of Texas.” Roaming more than 10,000 acres in the park, the bison are being restored to their native habitat. Learn about the park’s work as one of the five foundational herds that saved the bison from extinction.

The Briscoe’s birthday celebration is included with general museum admission. Cupcakes will be available while supplies last. As always, children 12 and under receive free admission, as do active duty members of the military, making the Briscoe a terrific spot for families to enjoy.
