Programs like this preserve local stories, place our community within the broader history of Texas and the nation, and encourage people to explore the places where that history continues to live. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome. Select “Going” to RSVP, invite a friend and share this event with your community. Then join us Sunday as we continue walking the pathways that connect our local heritage to the American story. #AransasPathways #HistoryCenterForAransasCounty #America250 #TexasHistory #RockportTexas
