History Ahead: Stories Behind Texas Roadside Markers
Wednesday, September 1
Noon - 1 p.m.
Classroom 137
FREE
What do a recluse named Elmer Kleb; the Music Man of Schulenberg; and the long-abandoned town of Provident City have in common? Each--along with nearly 13,000 other topics--is the subject of a Texas roadside marker. Join historians Dan Utley and Cynthia Beeman, authors of History Ahead: Stories Behind Texas Roadside Markers, for a discussion about researching and telling some of Texas' most compelling, but least known stories as we journey across Texas using historical markers as a guide.
Listen to an interview with the authors about September's presentation.
