Texas Archeology Fair
September 26, 2026
Join the Texas Historical Commission and Texas Science & Natural History Museum for the Texas Archeology Fair, a free celebration in Austin of Texas history, heritage, and archeology on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This family-friendly event features interactive experiences, demonstrations, and exhibits led by archeologists and partner organizations from across Texas. Visitors of all ages can explore hands-on tabling activities, meet experts in the field, and discover how archeologists study the history of peoples and cultures through artifacts and other evidence of past human activity.
This year’s fair, held at Texas Science & Natural History Museum, will also highlight the connections and distinctions between archeology and paleontology, offering opportunities to learn how archeologists study human history while paleontologists investigate ancient life through fossils. Through interactive experiences and engaging conversations with experts, visitors can explore how both fields help us better understand the past.
