This program encompasses the preparation and implementation––through existing Texas Historical Commission (THC) staff and resources––of balanced, inclusive and compelling commemorative projects that showcase THC assets, which tell the story of the State of Texas’ involvement in the American Civil War.

2012 Regional Workshops: Sat., March 17 in Tyler; West Texas County TBD; and Galveston TBD. Please contact the THC Military Sites Program Coordinator for details and to register for a workshop.
