During the Texas Revolution, Mexican soldiers fired pre-made cartridges filled with black powder and a musket ball wrapped in paper. Learn how they worked by making your own replica cartridge using candy in place of the bullet and gunpowder. We'll provide the materials; all you need is your creativity.

Where: San Jacinto Museum
Age Range: Kids 5+; younger children are welcome, but will need to have an adult to help.
