Crossroads

The Crossroads exhibit guided visitors through Waco’s earliest history, from Paleo-Indian peoples who used rock shelters and the surrounding landscape to the eve of the Civil War. Immersive elements—including a Wi’iko grass house replica, a recreated rock shelter, and Tonkawa pictographs—were paired with Native American artifacts and stone tools. The journey continued with a frontier log cabin and interpretive panels highlighting early Waco leaders such as Neil McLennan, George Erath, and Jacob De Cordova.
