TEXAS CENTENNIAL new category 5-1-08
Index by Sarah Reveley

During the 1936 Texas Centennial celebration, the state built memorial museums, restored historical structures, improved parks, erected statues of important Texans, and intalled over 1,000 historical markers.

Our ongoing project will examine the extant Centennial projects and include the stories behind them.
