Houston: The Houston Public Library's Park Place Regional Library is pleased to be hosting the Texas Historical Commission (THC) State-of-the-Art 50th Anniversary Exhibit. The community is invited to visit the library and view this historical exhibit; it is free and open to the public.
THC celebrated 50 year as the state agency for historic preservation in 2003. To commemorate its 50th anniversary, the THC developed a special exhibit featuring colorful images relating to the agency's many projects and programs, including: the LaSalle Archeological Project, the Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program, the Texas Main Street Program, and the Historical Marker Program. Thanks to the generous donation of the Friends of the Texas Historical Commission, Inc., the exhibit debuted at the Texas State Capitol in 2003 and now travels the state as a tribute to the agency and the preservation efforts being worked on statewide.
