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_

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.
