Local museum honors Sugar Lands Hispanic heritage
To commemorate Sugar Land’s 120 years of Hispanic heritage, the Sugar Land Heritage Museum and Visitor Center is showing its second annual Dia De Los Muertos exhibit.
The exhibit explains the importance of All Saints Day in Central, North, and South Hispanic cultures. Local families have contributed family platforms honoring their ancestors.
The event is running now until November 2nd, when there will be a special celebration. From 1:00pm to 4:00pm on November 2nd, the museum will offer refreshments and presentations exploring the community’s past. A local featured speaker will present a lecture about Sugar Land Hispanic contributions and genealogy, and more about Dia de Los Muertos at 1:30pm. Some other presentations will include a folkloric ballet at 1:45pm, a rhythmic performance by our own Vince Ramos at 2:15pm, and a mariachi band at 3:00pm. Little ones are invited to make Dia de Los Muertos artwork from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm.
Museums often have pictures taken during events like this. These pictures can go to local stationery printers to be made into colorful post or note cards that are then sold in the museum’s gift shops.
The event celebrating 120 years of Hispanic heritage will take place at the Sugar Land Museum and Visitor Center, 198 Kempner Street Building B, on the second floor. Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10:00am to 6:00pm. Admission will be free.
