      Juneteenth at Pioneer Farms

      Freedom for slaves in Texas came two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, and the commemoration of the date the news reached Texas (June 19, 1865) is now honored as Juneteenth. The date was named a federal holiday only last year. Austin's historic farm celebrates a week early with a day full of history lessons, celebrations, food and drinks, and guided tours, including a sneak peek of the Freedmen Farm site soon to be constructed.
