HER - STORY: WOMEN IN THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS

 

 

SAN AUGUSTINE, Texas —  Grab your lunch and a friend and head down to Mission Dolores State Historic Site on Friday, March 24th at 12:00 p.m. for the monthly “Lunch and Learn” program! 

 

The program, “Women in the Republic of Texas” will highlight the roles of several women with ties to East Texas in the formation of the Republic of Texas. As part of the City of San Augustine tricentennial celebration, Mission Dolores will hold similar lunchtime programs once a month throughout 2017, chronologically covering a variety of topics related to East Texas history. 

 

“We are excited that Weldon McDaniel, President of the Sabine County Historical Commission, will be a guest speaker for the program,” said Brooke Bonorden, site educator/interpreter at Mission Dolores State Historic Site. “What better way to celebrate Women’s History Month than by honoring notable East Texas women?!” Mr. McDaniel will supplement his program with exhibit panels, which will be on display at Mission Dolores State Historic Site for two weeks following the Lunch and Learn program.

 

Admission is free and the program will run from 12:00–1:00 p.m. Mission Dolores State Historic Site is currently open Tuesday through Sunday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. For more information, please call 936-275-3815.
