Cattle Drove The Revolution

Freedom wasn’t won by words alone; it moved on rivers, crossed open seas, and arrived with cattle, gunpowder, and ships. Discover the hidden supply lines and naval battles that helped win American independence at the opening of Tides of Freedom: Spain & the Battle for American Independence on Monday, February 2nd, at 5:00 PM. Join us for a public reception as we explore Spain’s vital role, from cattle drives that fed armies to decisive battles on the Mississippi River and in the Gulf of Mexico. This exhibit is part of the Texas America250 initiative, commemorating 250 years of American independence in 2026. Learn more at: https://texasmaritimemuseum.org/event/tides-of-freedom/
