Shooting Star History
History comes to life at Shooting Star History in Hitchcock. Experience the past first-hand with interactive activities and a vast collection of historic exhibits including handmade period clothing, collections of spinning wheels and looms, cowboy items and Native American objects.
Try your hand at one of the looms or learn historic cooking techniques using a cast iron skillet over an open fire. Shooting Star History owners Doug and Marna Davis are not history re-enactors. Their everyday life includes hunting, historic cooking, herbal medicine and lore, as well as saddle making with authentic 1800s tools, fiber art, Victorian dressmaking and pattern drafting. Shooting Star History is located on a centennial farm.
The Davis’ also host chuckwagon dinners, afternoon tea, croquet games and special classes on leatherwork and Victorian dress with advance notice.
