Top 12 in the Texas History Poster Contest |
This contest is but one of the many projects undertaken by County Historical Commission volunteers across the state, who work hard to preserve our history and share it with all Texans. Interested in learning more about County Historical Commissions? (Click here.) The Texas Historical Commission has an outreach program for County Historical Commissions...learn more about it here.
In our own Texas Mountain Trail region we have several very active and award-winning County Historical Commissions. Once again, in 2012 Brewster County, Jeff Davis County and El Paso County were recognized by the THC with their Distinguished Service Awards "to honor their concerted efforts to manage preservation programs that educate citizens and generate interest in the history and character of Texas." THANK YOU!
