Buffalo Soldiers Program Brings History to Life in State Parks

The TPWD Buffalo Soldiers Heritage and Outreach Program shares the story of the first African-American professional soldiers, vaqueros, black cowboys, frontier women, Native Americans, and other immigrant communities that were part of nineteenth-century Texas.

Using storytelling and authentic costumes and objects, both young and old can discover how the soldiers' history connects to Texas State Parks.
