Landing Party: Texas Civil War Museum, Fort Worth, TX Today's Landing Party members were: Brigadier Tank Clark, Commander Cynthia Crouch, Commander Tracy Clark, Chief Warrant Officer Glen Wilkerson, and Petty Officers Lora & Randall Weems. The group gathered at the Museum at 10:00, and entered not very long after the museum opened. We enjoyed the video presentation, which discussed the role Texas played in the Late Unpleasantness and some of what went on thereafter. We chose a good day to go, as there were some re-enactors present; they demonstrated a firing line several times, and displayed their replica uniforms, clothing, and equipment. The museum itself was outstanding. Along the north walls were Union artifacts; along the south, Confederate. The weapons, equipment, uniforms, clothing, tools, and flags each told a story. The museum also had a "Scavenger Hunt," in which one found numbered tags and answered questions about the display. There was a Navy section, and a whole room dedicated to Artillery as well. Additionally, the museum has a very large collection of period dresses & ladies' hats. After we'd seen everything we could see, we traveled to the West Side Cafe, and enjoyed a very flavorful meal, sharing more stories and discussing past glory. The walls of this restaurant are covered with photos of Western heroes, soldiers, airmen, sailors, marines, and aircraft -- it very much felt as though we were in a pilot's ready room. All in all, a very good day, with great company. Clark, commanding REGULATOR, out.
