Indian Artifact Show
Indian Artifact Show ’21
Because the Hill Country area is rich with artifacts from the tribes who lived here before the settlers, collectors and artifact enthusiasts can always find something of interest at the Hill Country Indian Artifact Shows.

The show is held three times annually at Pioneer Pavilion in Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park.
One more show is scheduled in 2021 for Saturday, Oct. 23.
In 2022, shows will be held on Jan. 22, March 26 and Oct. 22.
The show runs from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Consignments and appraisals are available.
As many as 70 tables will be set up by collectors from all over Texas to display historic artifacts for the benefit of buyers, sellers, traders or lookers interested in stopping by the pavilion that day.
“We cover such a wide variety of artifacts from Paleo Indian arrowheads and tools to historic artifacts featuring things like beaded clothing, bows and arrows, jewelry and much more,” said Rob Bartell, who specializes in collecting and selling Indian artifacts. “We also give away several hundred dollars in door prizes and have drawings throughout the entire show.”
Admission is $5 for everyone 15 years of age and older, while children 14 and under will be admitted free of charge.
Free admission will also be provided for Gillespie County law enforcement officers.
Beverages, snacks and barbecue will be available to purchase from Buzzie’s Barbecue in Kerrville.
