The Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC)'s Texas America250 exhibit will spotlight some of the areas where Texans’ contributions shine especially bright—true Texas icons that remind all Americans of the 28th state. From cowboys to astronauts, from Beaumont to Big Bend, the country would not be what it has become without Texas. Our famously independent and loudly proud state also contributes its own unique history to the broader, unfolding American story. Texas-specific commemorations such as the 1936 Texas Centennial marking 100 years of independence and 1986 Texas Sesquicentennial remain landmark moments in the state’s history.
Texans of all ages are invited to join TSLAC’s statewide Texas America250 Reading Challenge. Learn more about nationwide celebrations at america250.org.
