They say everything is bigger in Texas, and the stories we have to share are no exception!
Join the Friends of the Texas Historical Commission and THC’s own Bob Brinkman for an evening of tall tales and Texas trivia the size of Texas itself. Explore legendary stories, daring historical facts, and perhaps a few myths that are taller than a West Texas windmill.
Along the way, you’ll put your Texas history knowledge to the test with interactive trivia, uncover surprising stories from the state’s past, and compete for bragging rights as a true Texas history buff. Whether you’re a newcomer or a native Texan, this lively program is sure to leave you with new facts, new stories, and a few Texas legends to share.
We hope you’ll play along!
