Matt Jacobs National Instruments 11500 N Mopac Austin, TX 78759-3504 (512) 683-5728 [email protected] Preliminary Guest Activity Calendar Monday, August 16, 2004 Haunted Austin; Austin, Texas Your Hosts: Tia Garnett and Lisa Mounsif Rich in history, Austin is also rich in ghost lore. We start with a guided tour of the Texas State Cemetery to view the final resting places of Texas notables. Then we move on to the Neill-Cochran House, where the ghost of Colonel Neill has been seen riding his horse around the mansion; then onto the Driskill Hotel, where the ghost of Colonel Driskill is believed to haunt several of the guest rooms on the top floors of the hotel. We conclude with a walking tour of the Governor’s Mansion to learn more about otherworldly guests who call Austin their favorite haunt. http://www.cemetery.state.tx.us/ http://home.flash.net/~ncmuseum/ http://www.driskillhotel.com/ http://www.governor.state.tx.us/about/mansion Tuesday, August 17, 2004 Exotic Resort Zoo and Wild Seed Farms; Fredericksburg, Texas Your Hosts: Tia Garnett and Lisa Mounsif The plan today is to hop on a bus and head west of Austin, to the heart of the Texas Hill Country. We start with a safari tour of the Exotic Resort Zoo to view 80 species of animals. After lunch at the Cotton Gin Restaurant & Lodge in Fredericksburg, we tour the recently expanded Wild Seed Farms, the nation’s largest working wildflower seed farm and market center. http://www.zooexotics.com/ http://www.cottonginlodging.com/menu.html http://www.wildseedfarms.com/ Wednesday, August 18, 2004 Pontoon Boats, Lake Travis Your Hosts: Matt Jacobs and crew Last year, this particular activity was cancelled because of a nasty line of thunderstorms that rolled through the Austin area. The year before, we didn’t schedule pontoon boat day. So, according to Matt Jacobs’ logic, we’re all due for a day on the lake! We drive out to scenic Lake Travis, pile aboard pontoon boats, and motor about the lake. When we’re hot, we drop anchor and swim. When we’re hungry, we pull into Johnny Fins for lunch. When we’re thirsty, we pull an icy cold beverage from an onboard cooler. When we’re tired, we come home. Does life get any better than this? http://www.laketravis.com/lt.htm http://www.johnnyfins.com/ Thursday, August 19, 2004 Harry Ranson Center and Texas Capitol Tour Your Hosts: Tia Garnett and Lisa Mounsif One of the world's finest cultural archives resides on the University of Texas campus. The Ransom Center houses literary manuscripts, rare books, photographs, and works of art. Highlights include the Gutenberg Bible and the world's first photograph. Then we’ll tour the Texas State Capitol before lunching at the Capital Café, and returning to the Convention Center early in the afternoon. http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/home.html http://www.tspb.state.tx.us/SPB/Plan/Tours.htm .

  • THE TEXAS CONFEDERATE HOME for MEN, 1884-1970 Amy Sue Kirchenbauer, B.A
    THE TEXAS CONFEDERATE HOME FOR MEN, 1884-1970 Amy Sue Kirchenbauer, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2011 APPROVED: Richard Lowe, Major Professor Richard McCaslin, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Harland Hagler, Committee Member James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kirchenbauer, Amy Sue, The Texas Confederate Home for Men, 1884-1970. Master of Arts (History), August 2011, 116 pp., bibliography, 91 titles. Founded in 1886 by a local veteran’s organization, the Texas Confederate Home for Men served thousands of veterans throughout its tenure. State-run beginning in 1891, the facility became the center of controversy multiple times, with allegations of mistreatment of residents, misappropriation of funds, and unsanitary conditions in the home. Despite these problems, for several decades the home effectively provided large numbers of needy veterans with a place where they could live out their remaining years. The home was finally closed by the state in 1965, and the buildings were demolished in 1970. The facility’s success helped to inspire Texas to introduce a veteran pension system, and brought forth a new era in the state’s willingness to take care of veterans once their wars were over. Copyright 2011 by Amy Sue Kirchenbauer ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work would not have been completed without the guidance of Dr. Richard Lowe. He urged me frequently to move beyond the limits of what I thought myself to be capable of, and I am a better historian for it. His dedication to helping me achieve my dreams and hours spent editing my efforts will always be appreciated.
