Thursday, July 6, 2023 by Eric Webb
The Bullock Texas State History Museum will celebrate its namesake’s birthday on Sunday, and for Austin residents, that means free admission, family fun and food. The Bob Bullock Birthday Bash will begin at 10 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. In addition to exploring the museum’s galleries and exhibits for free, there will be games until 2 p.m. and story time for kids at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Robert “Bob” Douglas Bullock Sr., who served as the 38th lieutenant governor of Texas, would have turned 94 this year. “Bullock championed the preservation and exhibition of Texas history and began discussing the idea of a state history museum while serving as lieutenant governor,” according to a news release. Bullock died in 1999. For more information, go to the museum’s website.
