"Remember the I-30 construction zone!"
Texas Christian University's Center for Texas Studies has partnered with the Museum of the Big Bend (at Sul Ross State University in Alpine) to bring a touring exhibit of historical Texas maps to downtown Dallas' Old Red Courthouse Museum.
The items on display (from Nov. 2 - Feb. 28) include 64 maps of what we now revere as the Lone Star State dating from 1548 to 2006. (For those who'd prefer to forgo the counting, that covers five centuries.)
After its run at the Old Red, the exhibit of maps will tour around the state, making its last stand (Alamo-like) at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth in early 2010.
I, for one, am hoping that a book will be produced from the maps included in the exhibit - such a publication would make a GREAT Christmas present for a map freak such as myself... (Sweetie, are you listening?)
For more information call 817-257-6295.
