Friends Of The Texas Historical Commission Inc

Protecting historic sites across the State - The Texas Historical Commission preserves and operates 36 historic sites throughout the state. The Organization supports the preservation of these sites and helps raise the funds and awareness to make preservation, restoration, and interpretation possible. The Organization acquired two properties adjacent to the Charles and Mary Ann Goodnight Ranch State Historic Site and sold them to THC at cost; acquired an additional property adjacent to the Eisenhower Birthplace State Historical Site for future sale to THC at cost; began the architectural and engineering design work for the Phase II Education Center at Caddo Mounds State Historic Site; and made critical repairs and improvements to the Sabine Pass Battleground State Historic Site.

Other projects to support the Texas Historical Commission's core mission of preservation, stewardship, and place-based, experiential learning. The Organization continues to work on projects that address core programmatic initiatives- enhancing the visitor experience through capital projects, creating education opportunities and resources for students and visitors, and building preservation capacity through stewardship.
