The Pioneer Experience Tour is a first-person experience tour
which provides a look at emigration to Texas through the eyes of the Peters’
Colony Land Agents. The agents were prone to much exaggeration about the
bounties of Texas life when selling land was the goal.

Mr. Hedgcoxe lauds the virtues of Peter's Colony Lands to potential immigrants.
Guests play the role of potential emigrants during the 1-hour tour
which features encounters with the inhabitants of the town. A stroll down the
brick lined Main Street will pass the bank, which has on occasion been robbed.
Then the potential emigrants will visit the large Kennedy Farmstead, where they
can have an up close look at life on the prairie from Mrs. Kennedy and her
cousin Erastus Rausch, including stories of nearby Indian raids.

The experience ends at Millermore where they have lunch on the back lawn and hear stories and gossip about the town.

The Ladies engage in a little 'information sharing' while Mr. Rausch listens in.
Prior to or just after the experience portion of
the tour, the group will tour the Victorian side of the village, giving time for
questions and information outside the first person venue in a guided tour
format.
The tour guests receive a flyer with information from the Texas Land and Emigration Company and a souvenir bandanna to
keep.
