The Bosque River Chapter of the Children of the Republic of Texas (CRT) met in Glen Rose on Monday, Feb. 20 at the home of Becky Stover.
Mrs. Stover showed the chapter members the contents of the History Trunk which District 2 of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas have available to take to schools or show to various groups.
The trunk contains such items as clothing, tools, toys, and weapons from the period of the Republic of Texas, 1836-1846.
The children enjoyed trying on the clothes and trying to guess what each item was used for.
Following the demonstration each child made a spinning toy for themselves.
To become a member of CRT a child must be under the age of 21 and a direct descendant of a man or woman who honorably served the Republic of Texas prior to February, 1846.
