Join us on Monday, April 8 for the awe-inspiring total solar eclipse at our historic sites. Stand where legends like Sam Houston or Stephen F. Austin once stood, and witness history come alive under a darkened sky. This is a unique opportunity to connect with the cosmos while reflecting on the Lone Star State's rich heritage. Limited spots available, so don't miss out!
Discover the architectural wonders of El Paso, where the legacy of Henry Trost is seen through towering urban landmarks and modest residential neighborhoods. Or dive into the unique blend of adobe and Victorian details at the Magoffin Home, showcasing the distinct territorial style architecture of Far West Texas.
The new issue of The Medallion shines a light on El Paso, historic Texas theaters, and the 25th anniversary of the THC’s Courthouse Preservation Program. Subscribe to the magazine for free or read it online.
Join the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site for the San Jacinto Day Celebration, a day of living-history activities celebrating the 188th anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto. Interpreters dressed in period clothing will make the epic events of April 1836 come alive, and reenactments throughout the day will recreate the dramatic events that led to one of the most decisive and impactful military victories in the history of North America.
From big names like H-E-B to small-town staples, the THC’s Texas Treasure Business Award program pays tribute to the state’s long-time businesses and their historical contributions to their communities across Texas.
