What is the Texas Story Project?

The Texas Story Project is a collection of original stories – including text, photographs, videos, and audio files – that celebrate and link the past, present, and future of Texas.

What should I write about?

Write about anything – your family, heirlooms, a special place or memory – that connects your life to the story of Texas.

I have a story, but I'm not a great writer. What should I do?

Submit your story, and Museum experts will help you polish it. Send in video, photos, or audio files. For additional help, email stories@TheStoryofTexas.com.

Am I able to include photos or videos with my story?
