The Museum of the Big Bend has partnered with the Tom Lea Institute to participate in the Annual Tom Lea Month series of celebrations. During the Institute’s Cocktails and Culture hour, the Museum will present a film featuring Don Cadden, Alpine Cowboy Poet, as he performs a selection of cowboy songs and talks about how the vaquero and cowboy cultures are intertwined. Susan Pittman, researcher from Grapevine and Fort Davis, follows with the story of the friendship between J. Frank Dobie and Tom Lea and how their broken relationship was restored by their wives.
Cozy up on your couch as we talk culture over cocktails.
