Local history will come alive once again at the annual Living History Days Oct. 21-22 at the Annie Riggs Museum in Fort Stockton. The event has been taking place for decades, but this will be the first for director Ross Harper. “It’s going to be super fun,” Harper said. “Living History Days is something the Historical Society has done at the fort for decades, and in recent past, it’s only been a oneday event for the Fort Stockton kids. But we’re opening it up two days because it’s now been a decade since the town got to go enjoy it.” Students from Fort Stockton, Imperial, Sanderson and Balmorhea will take over the museum on Friday, Oct. 21 and the general public will be able to experience the displays and demonstrations the following day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The main attraction for the kids will be the U.S. Camel Corps. “Back in the 1850s there was a small experiment to bring camels to the west as pack animals,” Harper said. “They experimented for a couple of years and there were camels here in Fort Stockton, there were camels in Fort Davis and throughout the west.”
