Cedar Hill’s first settlers in the region arrived on horse-back and ox-drawn wagons, and quickly took up the essential professions a small town needs. This exhibit highlights the roles of farmers, ranchers, teachers, blacksmiths, and others who laid the town’s foundation. After viewing a large historical city map on the far left, guests will encounter life-size recreations of many of these early settlers. Small graphics on each character will provide content and feature an audio push button. By pressing a button on the figure, guests will hear a 20-30 second audio spoken by the character describing what life was like during the early years of Cedar Hill. The settlers are positioned on a raised platform that also exhibits museum artifacts and other propping to further enhance the display.
