Beasts of Burden

 Saturday, March 14th, 2026 :: 10:00am - 4:00pm
 Barrington Living History Farm

Plowing the land was a quintessential 1850s farming skill! Livestock trained to work, such as horses, mules, and oxen, played a vital role in the operations of early Texas farms. Whether it was pulling plows, harrowing fields, hauling cotton, or cultivating corn, beasts of burden made light work of sometimes daunting tasks. Join Barrington Plantation and the Texas Draft Horse and Mule Association in a unique opportunity to experience draft animals at work! Various aspects of field preparation using horses and oxen will be demonstrated, with some hands-on opportunities. Activities are dependent on weather and soil conditions. Contact us at Barrington-Plantation@thc.texas.gov or 936-878-2214 x248 for more information.

Lady bug release at Antique Rose Emporium

 Saturday, March 14th, 2026 :: 10:30am - 11:00am
 Antique Rose Emporium

Join us for our annual Ladybug Release at the Nursery & Display Gardens! At 10:30 AM and again at 4:00 PM, families of all ages are invited to help us release thousands of live ladybugs into the gardens. Before each release, we’ll host a short 10–15 minute, kid-friendly presentation where little gardeners (and curious grown-ups!) can learn why ladybugs are such powerful allies in the garden and how they help with natural pest control. We’ll also have coloring sheets available for kiddos to enjoy. Want to bring the magic home? Live ladybugs will be available for purchase in our Gift Shop so you can start your own backyard pest patrol.

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or simply looking for a sweet spring memory to make with your family, the Ladybug Release is a joyful way to welcome the season together!
