Experience what life was like for Buffalo Soldiers out West during this hands-on program. Kids will make animal tracks, use a saddle, and identify the ways buffalo were used with help from staff at the 9th and 10th Horse Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers Museum in Tacoma. Since its founding in 2005, Tacoma’s Buffalo Soldiers Museum has served as a community resource encompassing a significant – and all too often overlooked – facet of American history.
