TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION

The Texas Historical Commission (THC) was created by the state legislature in 1953 to serve as the official state agency for historical preservation. During the first years of its existence, the Commission administered an aggressive program of surveying and marking historic sites. Subsequent legislation has broadened the activities and responsibilities of the agency to include different aspects of historical preservation, such as archeology, downtown revitalization, publications, work with county historical commissions and other nonprofit heritage groups, and museums.

The Field and Museum Services Department of the THC provides professional services to the more than 700 museums across Texas. The department assists in regional workshops, produces publications, provides on-site consultations, and maintains extensive reference files for museums. The Winedale Museum Seminar, a 10-day, intensive training session for museum professionals and volunteers, is cosponsored by the department. Another program of the department is the administration of a state-funded grants program for history museums. One museum—the Sam Rayburn House Museum in Bonham—is maintained and administered by the THC.

The Texas Historical Commission consists of 18 governor-appointed members who function as a board of directors, overseeing a staff of historians, archeologists, architects, museologists, and experts in related fields. Current Commission members are listed below.

George E. Christian, Austin, _Chairman_ Mrs. H.L. Long, Kilgore, _Vice-chairman_ Duncan E. Boeckman, Dallas, _Secretary_ John M. Bennett, San Antonio Mrs. James F. Biggart, Jr., Dallas Richard H.

PREFACE

Perhaps one of the words that best describes Texas is variety. Whether one is considering weather, geography, cultural groups, or architecture, a variety is available in the Lone Star State.

Texas museums offer a microcosm of the state’s varied cultural and historical resources. Ranging from small county history museums kept alive by volunteer efforts to well-endowed, sophisticated art institutions in metropolitan areas, Texas museums offer something for everyone.

These museums contain the cultural treasures of Texas. They often feature valuable collections of antiquities, documents, and photographs. Many museums display unusual exhibits that are educational, entertaining, and valuable to researchers. The wealth of varied information contained in Texas museums definitely makes them worth a visit.

The simple purpose of this book is to let you know where museums are located in Texas, what they have to offer, and when they are open to the public. Information in this book was compiled from a survey of museums completed in 1984. For more detailed information on Texas museums, we refer you to _Texas Museums—A Guidebook_ by Paula Eyrich Tyler and Ron Tyler, which is available in bookstores.
