Centennial
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.
This ongoing project examines the extant Centennial projects and includes
the stories behind them. |
