LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Dear Friends,

Texans are fortunate to have a dynamic cultural history—the envy of anyone who doesn’t call the Lone Star State home. At the Historical Commission (THC), we’re excited about preserving the places that embody this heritage. It’s our job, but it’s also our passion as proud Texans.

For the last two years the THC has translated this passion into successful projects and initiatives that preserve our unique history while generating measurable economic impact on communities across Texas. This report showcases the agency’s activities during the past biennium and demonstrates that we truly embrace our responsibility of preserving the real places that tell the real stories of Texas.

Our most exciting accomplishment was opening the state-of-the art San Felipe de Austin Museum near Sealy. Planned for decades, Texas’ newest history museum tells the story of the founding of the Republic of Texas with highly interactive and dynamic exhibits.

We also celebrated the rededication of the Karnes County Courthouse in Karnes City, where hundreds of local residents gathered to commemorate the impressively restored 1894 building. We were humbled to see so many people appreciating the hard work of local and state restoration efforts through our Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program.

Our agency experienced challenges, as did much of the state. The historic natural events precipitated by Hurricane Harvey impacted six THC State Historic Sites, particularly Rockport’s Fulton Mansion. The stately mansion, located almost precisely at the storm’s landfall, lost its roof and was damaged by a deluge of water. But like Texas, the Fulton Mansion was built to last. Mitigation work on the mansion has proceeded efficiently and effectively. The mansion is a symbol of the Coastal Bend’s strength and determination in the face of a terrible natural disaster.

Thank you for your interest in our accomplishments outlined in this report for your review. At the THC, we’re looking forward to the coming biennium and the opportunities it brings for us to protect and preserve the Lone Star State’s unique heritage for the cultural and economic benefit of future generations.

We have even greater things planned as we work with the Legislature and our many stakeholders in 2019–20.

Sincerely,

Mark Wolfe, Executive Director Texas Historical Commission CONTENTS

INTRODUCTION

exans have immense pride in their heritage. No other state can claim our larger-than-life history and epic cultural landscapes. The Texas Historical Commission (THC) preserves and upholds these special T stories and places that make Texans proud to call the Lone Star State home. During the past biennium, agency staff devoted their expertise to the mission of preservation and promoting economic development. They’ve accomplished this in many ways, but some of our most significant efforts include:

• Nearly half a million people visited the THC’s 22 State Historic Sites . The THC’s stewardship of these sites culminated in the opening of a state-of-the-art museum at San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site and the addition of the State Historic Site in Austin, as well as to enhancements and improvements across the entire family of sites.

• The Preservation Tax Credit Program is one of the nation’s most successful and cost-effective community revitalization programs. Due to the value of the combined credits, the number of applications the THC received for the federal program has consistently increased. Ninety-six state tax credit projects were certified during the current biennium, with $907,212,910 in qualified expenses, compared to 28 projects certified in the previous biennium.

• The Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program has invested more than $290 million in 99 counties for the preservation of their courthouses. Construction activity related to the program has or will have created over 10,898 jobs and generated more than $44 million in local taxes, and more than $612 million in wages in Texas.

• The Texas Main Street Program reinvested more than $330 million of private funds in communities during the biennium. Local programs also reported more than 1,000 rehabilitation projects worth over $138 million; more than $150 million in new downtown construction; the sale and purchase of $41 million of downtown real estate; net gains of 567 business starts; and nearly 3,600 new jobs in Main Street districts.

• Celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the Texas Travel Trails took place in 2018, with a statewide travel promotion that resulted in 8,287 unique page views for the sweepstakes page on TexasTimeTravel.com and 2,446 new email subscribers. The trail regions have raised $3.2 million in regional cash contributions, $4.8 million in in-kind contributions to fund operations, and logged more than 110,000 volunteer hours.

Looking to the future, the THC is excited about implementing new programs and continuing successful initiatives that bolster our economic development efforts across Texas.

The THC has a significant responsibility to the people of Texas. We protect the resources that define the Lone Star State’s proud history. Our biennial accomplishments toward achieving this goal are documented on these pages.

3 H VOICES OF TEXAS HISTORY

Jeff Williams President, Friends of the Caddo Mounds The THC, through Caddo Mounds State Historic Site, has created a real connection between the public and the Caddo Nation. The building of a traditional Caddo grass house— developed organically by volunteers representing local landowners, community volunteers, and County Historical Commission members spanning generations, religions, and ethnicities—created a tangible link between Caddo past and present.

The grass house serves as a functional space for educational and interpretive programs that provide rich and unique opportunities for collaborative hands-on learning between Texas teachers and Caddo tribal members. This creates a strong foundation for cultural exchange about the history of Texas. Interest in the Caddo people and the historic site as a travel destination has resulted in a noticeable increase in heritage tourism throughout the region. J

2017–18 THC ACCOMPLISHMENTS

HISTORIC SITES DIVISION

he THC’s 22 State Historic Sites—stretching from El Paso to Marshall to Rockport to Denison—help define local character and sense of place. Visitation continues to grow throughout the network, with T the completion of major capital improvements, new programming, and strengthening the sites’ brand identity. The THC’s Historic Sites Division (HSD) provides stewardship to 160 buildings with approximately 384,000 square feet, and 1,887 acres of land.

Since its construction on the Rockport beach in 1877, Fulton Mansion has survived many Gulf Coast hurricanes. And despite being at ground zero for Hurricane Harvey’s landfall in August 2017, it survived again.

But like the rest of the Fulton-Rockport community, the site experienced great damage. The mansion’s roof was ripped off by the storm, allowing water to pour inside. The exterior also was damaged due to airborne debris strikes. Extensive water damage meant the mansion needed to be closed temporarily, yet another economic impact to the devastated area. It was quickly reopened with a temporary tour highlighting the ongoing preser - vation efforts and scheduled community events on the lawn.

However, HSD’s mitigation work on the mansion has proceeded efficiently and effectively. Damage from moisture infiltration has been assessed, and all upholstered furniture, textiles, and other vulnerable items have been moved to secure curatorial facilities. The mansion is now open for hard hat tours.

Staff continues to work with FEMA to get federal funds to complete the restoration work and ready the mansion for the return of its collection. The THC sees Fulton Mansion as a symbol of Texas determination, and it will be restored and returned to full service as quickly as possible.

Hurricane Harvey’s largest impact on agency property was to the seawall at Sabine Pass Battleground , reported to be under a foot of water during the storm. The site experienced soil erosion and washout adjacent to the seawall. The damage has been assessed and engineering of the repairs is in progress.

Two other sites were impacted by the hurricane. At Fannin Battleground , the storm significantly impacted the landscape. The caretaker’s house lost a portion of its roof, and there was damage to the bandstand. All repairs have been completed.

At Varner-Hogg Planation , the site manager cleared hurricane drains and helped residents of the adjacent Columbia Lakes subdivision. Site staff also assisted emergency personnel with access to the site and worked with local officials to protect the community from catastrophic flooding. Ongoing assessments are underway to assess the impact of floodwater on foundations of the plantation’s structures.

Texas’ Newest History Museum Another significant HSD event during the past biennium was the opening of the San Felipe de Austin museum. Hundreds gathered on a bright, sunny April Staff have addressed afternoon to hear state and local officials dedicate the state-of-the-art facility, planned for nearly a decade. The new museum tells the story of the founding of Hurricane Harvey’s the Republic of Texas, with highly interactive exhibits featuring dynamic graphic impact on six properties, elements designed by selected artists. Period and site-specific artifacts from San Felipe are on display. with Fulton Mansion Curatorial staff accepted new collections for San Felipe de Austin, including and Sabine Pass 37 historic and site-associated objects from the Friends of San Felipe. Staff also accepted 17 boxes of archeological collections donated by several families. Battleground being the most severely damaged. In addition, work by archeologists at San Felipe de Austin is uncovering additional information on the lifeways, living styles, and building techniques of the colonists The unprecedented storm that settled the town.

Texas were appointed as the property’s custodian and opened it as a museum in 1956. In the last legislative session, the property's operation and stewardship was transferred to the THC. Over the past year, HSD staff has completed essential historic preservation work and will reopen the site for public visitation in 2019.

Foodways Programs Offer a Taste of the Past It’s said that “the kitchen is the heart of the home,” and over the past biennium many State Historic Sites’ kitchens and hearths were fired up with foodways programs offering a taste of Texas heritage.

This edible storytelling has been a popular attraction drawing hundreds of visitors over the past biennium at several sites, notably Casa Navarro , where recipes are translated from the original Spanish. Ingredients from the site’s Tejano garden fill bowls of molé and salsa.

The forts sites bake bread in a style that conveys the disciplined lives of West Texas soldiers—hard tack biscuits, dipped in black coffee around a camp fire. In contrast, the simmering stewpots and baking pies on the hearth at Landmark Inn greet visitors with the flavors of Old-World European hospitality and abundance.

Historic Preservation and Collection Stewardship The new collections storage facility at Varner-Hogg Plantation houses the Ima Hogg collection, an important set of American furniture and decorative arts. It also provides expanded programming opportunities with behind-the-scenes tours, demonstrations, and workshops. Fulton Mansion collections are currently being stewarded at Varner-Hogg Plantation’s collections storage facility.

The meticulously researched and detailed restoration of the Sam Bell Maxey House library, dining room, hallway, and parlor includes rich period elements to restore the interiors created by Marilda Maxey and her daughter. An office structure has also been constructed at the site, providing more room to tell the Maxey family’s story in their historic home after staff work spaces were relocated to the new building.

Schematic design was completed for the Eisenhower Birthplace’s new entrances and statue plaza. The design will unify the site, provide improved handicapped- accessibility, and offer safer pedestrian access with interpretive signs to tell the story of the working-class community associated with one of our nation’s great heroes. Site staff worked with city officials on plans to deed land to the site for this project, and the Friends of the THC created a phased fundraising strategy developed with local community stakeholders.

The restoration and interpretation of the service wing of the Starr Family Home will be complete in the first quarter of FY19. The goal of this complex project is to return back-of house spaces to their period configuration and appearance, in order to engage visitors in programming that conveys the stories of the The division organized the African American hired servants whose hard work and ingenuity enabled the opening of the new San Starr family’s lifestyle.

As part of recent recommendations for the National Museum of the Pacific War (NMPW), staff worked with the on-site partner to create a joint strategic plan between the Admiral Nimitz Foundation and THC to focus on operations, mission, and governance. The operation of the museum includes the Pacific Combat Zone, an updated exhibit gallery, amphitheater with a reconfigured battlefield set, and vehicle storage facility. It opened to the public in March 2017.

The THC’s historic frontier forts have been offering stargazing events and programs for more than 20 years and have established beneficial relationships with groups that probably would not have visited the forts otherwise. One group that visits Fort McKavett regularly is a stargazing organization affiliated with NASA. Fort staff engage the public by utilizing celestial navigation implements used by the Army in the 19th century. At Fort Griffin , stargazing audiences learn about the “Comanche Moon” and American Indian tribal customs.

Mission Dolores and HSD staff worked with the Archeology Division on a Memorandum of Understanding with Stephen F. Austin State University regarding the archeological collection facility on-site. A Friends group has been organized to assist in programming and fundraising efforts for Mission Dolores. An Interpretive Master Plan is being developed for the site.

An Interpretive Master Plan, a revised Historic Furnishings Plan, and an Archives Management Plan are also being developed for the Magoffin Home in El Paso. These vital roadmaps for the site’s development will more fully define the site’s stories and how they translate into programs and the furnishing of historic interiors. When the site’s administrative offices were moved to the new visitors center, there was an opportunity to tell a broader story that included the daughter and granddaughter of the Magoffin family. They cared for the site as it transitioned into state ownership. The undertold story of women’s roles in the preservation of Texas history is shared with visitors here.

The new Friends Group Program is underway as the division’s community partnership coordinator provides training opportunities, nonprofit consultation, and an awards program for local Friends groups that support the agency’s historic sites. In partnership with the Friends of the THC, Friends groups now have the option of organizing as fiscally sponsored nonprofits, easing the groups’ administrative burdens of forming their independent 501(c)3. Whether fiscally sponsored or as independent nonprofits, all Friends groups are provided consultation to learn nonprofit best practices, to understand and meet the terms of the THC’s Memorandum of Agreement, to increase their fundraising capacity, and to develop their strategic plans. Also, in coordination with the Friends of the THC, the community partnerships coordinator provides development training throughout the state and an awards program to honor Friends groups’ volunteer commitment.

Margaret Hoogstra Executive Director, Texas Forts Trail Region Over the past 20 years as part of the THC’s Texas Heritage Trails Program, the Texas Forts Trail and the agency have worked together for the betterment of the region and the state. The THC’s Museum Services Program has presented training for small local and county museums about best practices for collection management and volunteer programs. In addition, Military Sites Program workshops have helped local historians collect oral histories from World War II and Cold War veterans. County Historical Commission members have also benefitted from training held closer to home.

In each of these cases, education and training that otherwise wouldn’t have been received was made available through the collaboration with the Texas Forts Trail. These activities make optimal use of limited resources (time and money), strengthen local and regional connections, and extend the reach and mission of the THC. J

COMMUNITY HERITAGE DEVELOPMENT

he Community Heritage Development Division (CHD) demonstrates passion for preservation through its Texas Main Street Program, Texas Heritage Trails Program (THTP), heritage tourism initiatives, and T collaboration with cities, counties, and nonprofit organizations. The CHD works in partnership with communities to revitalize historic areas, stimulate tourism, and encourage economic development using preservation strategies. Texas’ picturesque Main Street communities and unique heritage tourism destinations become magnets for commerce and travel.

In the mid-1960s, Texas Gov. John Connally commissioned a Texas-image marketing survey, which revealed many Americans thought of Texas merely in terms of deserts, oil, and cactus. Connally’s efforts to improve the state’s image included a May 1967 presentation where he said, “What I see for the future is a series of what might be called Travel Trails of Texas,” referencing driving routes based on historic, recreational, scenic, and cultural assets.

In 2018, the THC and CHD celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Texas Travel Trails program, which subsequently evolved into the THTP, by hosting a popular regional-themed sweepstakes contest—Stay an Extra Day in Texas (www.extradayintexas.com)—and caravan events. These activities increased awareness of the Trails program and its important contributions to economic development in rural areas.

In the past 20 years of the THTP, its heritage regions, covering all 254 Texas counties, have raised $3.2 million in regional cash contributions, $4.8 million in in-kind contributions to fund operations, and logged more than 110,000 volunteer hours.

In FY 2017, the 10 regions provided 11 hospitality training sessions that reached 788 Texans interested in promoting local heritage; planned and executed 42 educational meetings attended by 1,141 individuals; held 15 workshops reaching 366 individuals and 40 entities; distributed 323,731 printed marketing pieces beyond those distributed by the THC; and increased combined social media followers by nearly 28 percent to a total of 124,715.

The THC reconstituted the Brazos Trail Region with a new board of directors and new nonprofit organization. In FY 2018 the region returned to full operations with an executive director and participation in the program.

Heritage Tourism In addition to the THTP, the THC’s overall Heritage Tourism program works to develop and promote the state as a tourist destination in conjunction with the agency’s State Historic Sites, the Office of the Governor– Economic Development and Tourism, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Texas Commission on the Arts, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

According to the Office of the Governor–Economic Development and Tourism, Texas tourism is a nearly $75 billion annual industry, with visitor spending in the state directly supporting 677,600 jobs in 2017 and generating $7 billion in state The Texas Main Street and local taxes. The THC’s updated economic impact study demonstrated that heritage travelers account for about 12.5 percent of direct travel spending in Program, through its Texas. Of that amount, nearly $2.3 billion can be attributed annually to heritage- related activities of visitors.

The Texas Main Street Program The Texas Main Street Program (TMSP) revitalizes Texas’ historic downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts through economic development and historic preservation.

The TMSP was selected for multiple honors over the biennium. The program became the state model for the inaugural Main Street America Façade Improvement Pilot Program funded through the 1772 Foundation with $80,000 in grants and low interest loans. The National Main Street Center also awarded Texas the 2017 Innovation on Main Street Award, recognizing the agency’s Celebrate Main Street 35th Anniversary social media promotion.

The program’s Town Square Initiative (TSI) provides in-depth and focused attention on select community revitalization projects. With this initiative, the agency has added city planning, economic development specialties, and small

The TSI also undertakes feasibility studies for individual rehabilitation projects and provides guidance and direction to address underutilized and vacant historic properties. TSI continues to support and grow the program’s online resource library with hundreds of guidance documents, articles, technical resources, blogs, and videos/webinars.

In May 2017, CHD launched DowntownTX.org, a groundbreaking website developed by the agency to serve the state’s Main Street and Certified Local Government communities. The resource addresses vacant and underutilized historic properties in the cities we serve; it also displays every property in participating downtowns and the critical real estate information to connect potential business owners and investors with available historic commercial properties. Sixty-two communities are involved with data integration. To date, 12,978 properties have been inventoried, including 545 locally designated landmarks, 2,405 properties that contribute to local districts, 316 National Register-listed properties, and 2,306 parcels that contribute to National Register districts.

During the past biennium, the THC designated Buda, Linden, and Pearsall as new Texas Main Street communities, while Temple returned to the program as a re-certified community.

The THC distributes at least 10 percent of its federal apportionment to CLGs in the form of matching grants-in-aid. In the past two years, approximately $321,000 in federal grant funding was awarded to 18 projects across 15 CLG communities for local preservation projects, creating a total investment exceeding $642,000. Projects include surveying and documenting historic resources, training local commission members, and rehabilitating historic buildings. During this period, 12 communities were awarded grants to allow 16 historic preservation officers or local commission members to attend trainings provided by the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions.

Texas Treasure Business Award First established by the Legislature in 2005, the Texas Treasure Business Award program helps illustrate that the Texas economy is strong and a great place to do business. More than 90 of the state’s independent businesses received the award in 2017–18. Near the close of FY 2018, more than 400 businesses across the state had been designated.

Forty-five of the recognized businesses were established in the 19th century. To date, the oldest designated business continues to be Gibbs Brothers and Company, LLC in Huntsville, a family-owned and operated land investment company since 1841.

Samuel Collins III Former State Board of Review Chair Working with the THC has been very rewarding because I’ve been able to help tell more real stories about the real places and real people of Galveston County. Local residents have benefited from the expansion of the narrative of local history, and several THC meetings have been held in Galveston County. This helps our fellow Texans learn more about Texas history and the resources available through the THC that will help them with local preservation work.

Adaptive reuse of historic sites has also helped create jobs and increase tourism in Galveston County. The THC’s efforts to advocate for preservationists and developers has proven to be good business for Texas. Heritage tourists spend more money and care more about their experiences as they travel throughout the state. History-based visitation to the popular island of Galveston and the small town of Hitchcock has increased a great deal since Hurricane Ike in 2008. J

ARCHITECTURE DIVISION

he THC’s Architecture Division oversees the important Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program (THCPP) and also preserves and protects Texas’ diverse architectural heritage. Staff members provide T design and rehabilitation advice to help preserve properties that span the state’s rich history, from courthouses and commercial buildings, to Spanish missions and simple log cabins.

On an unusually brisk South Texas afternoon in April 2018, the rededication of the Karnes County Courthouse in Karnes City attracted hundreds of local residents and several state officials. The large crowd celebrated the building’s impressive transformation thanks to the help of the THCPP.

The THC’s restoration of the courthouse restored it to its former glory, stabilized its foundation, repaired its roof, removed additions that caused structural damage, and more.

Across Texas in places like Karnes County, you can still see the spectacular spires of historic county courthouses piercing the vast blue sky. In these communities, these impressive buildings still serve their communities while anchoring economic development.

Former Gov. George W. Bush and the Texas Legislature created the THCPP two decades ago. Using funds appropriated by the Legislature, the program’s unique mission and scope bring the state, counties, and local citizens together in a special partnership to restore and revitalize these iconic Texas treasures.

As of August 1, 2018, 70 county courthouses had received full-restoration funding, and 29 counties had received emergency and/or planning grants while awaiting major construction funds. Another 45 participants have still not received any funding. Each full-restoration project includes completely restored exteriors, district and county courtrooms, and public corridors. Building code compliance, accessibility, security, and the installation of new efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are also included in the scope of work.

Since the inception of the program, more than $290 million has been awarded to 99 counties for the preservation of their courthouses. Construction activity related to the program has or will have created over 10,898 jobs and generated more than $44 million in local taxes, and more than $612 million in wages in Texas.

To protect and preserve these buildings for future generations, the Texas Courthouse Stewardship Program was created in 2005 to assist counties by fostering facility planning, budgeting, and training. In each year of the biennium, the THC hosted a two-day stewardship workshop in Austin and organized two one-day workshops regionally. All were sponsored by the Texas Land Title Association. The stewardship program also provides site visits, easement monitoring, technical consultations, and maintenance planning guidance to counties with restored courthouses.

The state program provides a credit on the Texas Franchise Tax or the Insurance Premiums Tax equal to 25 percent of qualified project expenses for the rehabilitation of a historic building used for income-producing purposes, by a noprofit, or a public university (through December 31, 2021). The program is administered in conjunction with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.

The federal program provides a credit on federal income taxes equal to 20 percent of qualified project expenses for rehabilitating a historic building used for income-producing purposes. This program is administered in conjunction with the and the Internal Revenue Service. The THC’s role is to review and approve proposed and completed work for all projects, provide technical advice to potential applicants, and promote the programs’ use.

In the previous biennium, the THC received 552 application parts for the federal and state tax credits. During the 2017–18 biennium, the THC received 995 application parts for 284 individual properties, illustrating the exponential growth of the program. Ninety-six state tax credit projects were certified during the current biennium, with $907,384,880 in qualified expenses, compared to 28 projects certified in the previous biennium.

While many projects that utilize both historic tax credit programs are large, more developers have begun to use the programs to revitalize small-scale buildings in Texas Main Street cities. In the city of Ennis, two developers have completed projects at four buildings in the downtown historic district. Three of the buildings were previously vacant and now house multiple office and retail tenants, as well as a new restaurant. Qualified expenses for the projects total over $3.3 million—

The state credit is also frequently used alone, for projects with lower costs, or by nonprofits, which do not qualify for the federal credit.

San Antonio’s nonprofit Trinity University participated in the state tax credit program for maintenance and rehabilitation of four campus residential buildings in 2017 (an investment of $1.6 million). To qualify for the tax credit program, campus officials worked with THC staff to list the entire historic campus—known for its spectacular Modern architecture—as a National Register Historic District. Trinity has made continued participation in the state tax credit program a part of its campus planning strategy.

Additionally, in 2017, the Legislature made the program available to public universities for a limited time (through 2021). Applications have been received for five university projects so far.

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires federal agencies to consider what effects their actions, funding, permit, or license may have on historic properties. It also requires that such projects be reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). In Texas, the THC is also the SHPO. The THC’s Archeology, Architecture, and History Programs divisions conduct Section 106 reviews to assess the degree of potentially damaging effects on historic properties and archeological resources. In the past biennium, the three divisions collectively conducted more than 23,000 Section 106 reviews.

During the past biennium, Architecture Division staff consulted with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston on a number of proposed projects. The JSC recently conducted a comprehensive historic resources survey of its campus, which recommends much of it eligible as a historic district, significant for its midcentury modern architecture and technological advances that occurred there. Preservation work is planned for the iconic Apollo Mission Control Center after it was listed as a threatened National Historic Landmark.

ARCHEOLOGY DIVISION

he Archeology Division (AD) is committed to the identification, protection, and preservation of Texas’ irreplaceable archeological heritage in accordance with state and federal laws. To accomplish T these goals, AD staff archeologists use a regional approach to aid project sponsors, including developers, counties, municipalities, and state and federal agencies to evaluate the potential impact of projects to archeological sites significant to Texas history. Members of the Texas Archeological Stewardship Network (TASN), a volunteer workforce of avocational archeologists, are frequently called upon by AD staff to assist ranchers, farmers, and other property owners who suspect they may have encountered physical traces of Texas’ archeological past on their property.

In April 2018, the Fort Bend Independent School District announced a forgotten cemetery was found at a construction site. Preliminary analysis indicated the remains are likely those of individuals who were part of a convict-leasing program associated with Ellis Camp, a privately operated sugar plantation. A team of nearly a dozen archeologists have been exhuming and analyzing the remains since June 2018; based on materials from the burials, they determined the cemetery dates between approximately 1878 and 1910.

The discovery represents a priceless opportunity to gain valuable insight into the lives of these individuals, many of whom were likely freed slaves. It also offers the community, potentially including the descendants of the prisoners, an opportunity to honor the dead and remember their lives.

The AD and State Archeologist have worked closely with the school district and overseen recovery efforts at the cemetery, one of the many initiatives they undertook in the past biennium.

Throughout the state, the AD assists property owners, ranchers, farmers, and businesses to eval uate their finds on private property and communities’ public projects. THC staff archeologists work with hundreds of professional archeologists to investigate, identify, and catalogue any archeological site significant to Texas history. The state’s volunteer archeological stewards are frequently the first contact for landowners.

La Belle Shipwreck The wreck of La Belle continues to draw the attention of international marine archeologists and travelers from accross the world. During the biennium, the reconstructed hull and a special exhibit went on display at the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin. In June 2018, the exhibit was closed in preparation for the reopening of the museum’s first floor, including a significant expansion and redesign. Final plans for the installation of this permanent exhibition, scheduled to open in fall 2018, are underway and AD staff is actively assisting with the coordination of artifact loans.

Development of eTRAC To increase efficiency in accomplishing project reviews mandated by state and/or federal laws, the THC embarked on the development of an electronic submission system known as eTRAC. AD staff members helped create a streamlined system that allows project sponsors to submit details and track the review’s progress elec - tronically. This eliminates unnecessary processing delays and enables simultaneous assessments to be conducted by two or more THC reviewers, resulting in more timely completion of reviews.

Texas Archeological Stewardship Network Established in 1984, the TASN is a nationally recognized and cost-effective THC volunteer program administered by the AD. It has been designated by the federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation as a Preserve America Steward for its effectiveness and efficiency in protecting Texas’ archeological heritage.

Stewards help AD archeologists with activities such as finding, recording, and monitoring important archeological sites and documenting important collections. Stewards assist communities by providing extensive assistance to museums and other repositories to analyze their archeological collections. Several examples include the artifact analysis and recording at the Panhandle-Plains Museum in Canyon, and developing an interactive South Texas prehistory exhibit with the Andy Kyle Archeological Collection at the Sam Houston Regional Library and Research Center in Liberty. The final technical publication on the Since the beginning of FY 2017, more than 32,396 hours were donated by TASN members.

Historic Texas Lands Plaque To recognize Texas landowners who preserve important archeological sites on their properties, the THC developed the Historic Texas Lands Plaque program in 2001. To date, 39 plaques have been awarded to qualifying property owners. In FY 2018, two plaques were presented to landowners. One was presented to Patricia Graham, Terrell Graham, and Margie Hastings for their nomination of a historic rock wall remnant on their property in Comal County for State Antiquities Landmark designation, affording it the legal protection of the Antiquities Code of Texas. Lonnie Lindsey of Rusk was the second plaque recipient for allowing archeological investigations on a series of prehistoric Caddo sites on his property in Cherokee County.

HISTORY PROGRAMS DIVISION

he History Programs Division (HPD) manages a variety of programs that preserve the state’s rich heritage. HPD staff partners with County Historical Commissions, history museums, cemetery T associations, educational institutions, local governments, state and federal agencies, and other organizations and individuals to identify, evaluate, and interpret Texas’ unique and significant historic resources.

On April 6, 2017, the Great War took center stage on the ’s Great Walk.

A ceremonial event marked the 100th anniversary of America’s formal entry into World War I, featuring state officials and guest speakers, World War I living historians, and artifacts from the war, including trench periscopes, a 1914 British Lewis Gun, and other weaponry. The THC helped organize the event with the World War I Centennial Commemoration Association, the Texas Military Forces Museum, and the Texas Military Department.

During this biennium, the agency’s Military Sites Program’s (MSP) primary focus has been on the First World War Centennial. MSP staff coordinated statewide centennial observance efforts with other THC programs and divisions, and supported government officials, museums, County Historical Commissions, volunteer groups, and the public with information and materials. Other notable accomplishments related to the Great War include the production of a World War I travel guide, World War I-themed mobile app heritage tour, limited-issue centennial coins for community partners, and a special WWI edition of The Medallion .

The MSP also remained active in other areas of military history. Coordinating with the American Battlefield Trust, staff organized annual Park Day activities at Palmito Ranch Battlefield National Historic Landmark and assisted with battlefield land banking efforts to protect the site. Additionally, the program completed a National Park Service (NPS) grant-funded project on World War II-era Enemy Alien Internment Camp history. It continues to work closely with former internees, the Briscoe Center for American History, and the public as it moves forward on plans to make the THC’s oral history collection and World War II-era documents available online.

Official Texas Historical Marker Program Official Texas Historical Markers interpret and promote the state’s diverse historic and cultural resources. Texas has the most active and successful historical marker program in the country, based on a unique state and county partnership.

The State of Texas has placed almost 17,000 historical markers throughout the state. During the past biennium, the THC approved 411 new historical markers, name and date plaques, and medallions for designated Historic Texas Cemeteries.

Staff presents application and research workshops across the state and conducts webinars to reach the broadest audience possible. The marker program has also partnered with graduate students in history and hosted interns in recent years to assist with research, write marker inscriptions, develop thematic maps, and produce other educational products for the benefit of students, researchers, and the public.

Texas Historic Roads and Highways Program HPD continued to implement the Historic Roads and Highways Program by applying for and receiving an NPS grant for updating a survey project of Route 66, running across the Texas Panhandle through Amarillo. This historic highway project follows previously completed projects for the Bankhead and Meridian highways, which collectively mapped more than 1,750 miles and 3,200 resources. The Route 66 project is scheduled for completion in October 2018 and will incorporate inter - active mapping, digital color photographs, a searchable database, historic context, and GIS data. These resources will be featured on the THC’s website.

Cemetery Preservation Program Historic cemeteries across Texas are threatened by development, intentional and unintentional destruction of above-ground evidence, uncontrolled vegetation, vandalism, and theft. With an estimated 50,000 cemeteries throughout Texas, the THC works with CHCs, archeological stewards, and the public to plot cemetery locations in its online Atlas resource, which aids cultural resource management projects, city planning, researchers, and historians. The Atlas currently has more than 11,600 cemeteries plotted and general vicinities for another 300 lost cemetery locations.

The THC coordinates the efforts of concerned citizens and assists them with cemetery preservation efforts, including hands-on workshops on monument repairs and disaster-preparedness, the discovery of lost cemeteries via the Notice of Existence of Cemetery form, and through the Historic Texas Cemetery (HTC) designation program. The HTC provides protection to lost and endangered cemeteries by recording their locations in the county deed records and alerting adjacent landowners to their presence.

During the past biennium, cemetery program staff has increased the efficiency of the HTC application process; 233 cemeteries in 104 counties received an HTC designation during these two years. There are more than 2,200 cemeteries designated throughout the state, with at least one designation in each county. Cemetery staff is also required to receive notification, act, or respond to certain legal notices and petitions. During the biennium, the program responded to seven Notices of Removal of Remains and 33 Notices of Existence of Cemeteries.

Together, these communication initiatives educate the public about opportunities to preserve the real stories and places that tell the history of Texas.

PIE has prioritized earned and digital media as the focus of agency outreach efforts, and in the last biennium the agency’s portfolio of social media and web offerings saw strong use and growth.

The growth of THC social media audiences (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn) has been strong. During FY 2018, THC social media channels reached 139,000 followers.

The THC’s Facebook audience grew by more than 35 percent, Twitter followers increased more than 79 percent, the LinkedIn audience grew by more than 31 percent, and Instagram followers increased by more than 73 percent. The THC’s coordinated outreach campaigns have utilized the agency’s social media channels, pairing them with other digital and traditional media efforts.

Email newsletters are an extremely cost-effective way to reach a large audience. Since 2014, the agency’s monthly email newsletter subscriber list grew to more than 20,000, with a 39 percent growth since 2016.

PIE has also embraced online video as a way to drive traffic to THC websites and for use on social media. PIE has produced around 30 short online videos in the last two years, highlighting everything from historic cooking demonstrations at State Historic Sites to historic county courthouses. The online videos have generated tens of thousands of views on the web and Facebook, allowing Texans to connect more conveniently and personally with the agency’s work and mission. Our YouTube channel subscribers grew by more than 221 percent.

The THC’s website (thc.texas.gov) is one of the agency’s most accessible venues for sharing information about Texas history and the programs that impact communities across the state. Traffic has steadily increased to the website over this biennium, and in FY 2018 more than 400,000 people visited the site, an increase of more than 30 percent from the previous fiscal year.

Utilizing Earned Media for Greater Reach Significant public relations projects over the last biennium included campaigns for the Texas Time Travel Tours app, grand opening events for the new San Felipe de Austin Museum and State Historic Sites’ visitors centers, historic courthouse rededications, and promotions for the Real Places conference.

FRIENDS OF THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION

The Friends of the Texas Historical Commission (Friends) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation dedicated to supporting the initiatives of the THC. A board of 21 trustees governs the organization.

In the last biennium, the Friends raised a total of $152,249 in unrestricted funds, and $2,008,930 in restricted funds, from contributions made by individuals, foundations, and corporations. Cash assets managed by the Friends for the benefit of the THC, both unrestricted and restricted, were $1,160,247 in FY 2017 and $2,489,531 in FY 2018. Of that total, $339,869 (in FY 2017) and $397,620 (in FY 2017) was invested in endowments.

The Friends successfully completed fundraising for several key initiatives during the biennium. In October 2016, following the museum groundbreaking at San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site, the Friends launched a $5.1 million capital campaign for the museum and exhibits. This funding would augment the $7.49 million in support from the State of Texas for the construction of the museum building. As of July 2018, the Friends organization has been successful in leveraging over $3 million in private philanthropic support for the project. The campaign is ongoing and will continue to its conclusion in the next biennium.

In June 2017, the Friends held an event in Houston, at the Crystal Ballroom in the historic Rice Hotel, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the THC Preservation Scholars Program. The event was attended by nearly 150 guests and raised over $50,000 for the one-of-its-kind program in the state. The Preservation Scholars Program focuses on engaging undergraduate and graduate students from under-represented backgrounds— socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural—with historic preservation, through an eight-week summer placement within the THC. Students selected for this placement are able to apply their academic skills and background, and their interest in preservation, to complete a project within a division of the agency. In summer 2017, Zoe Simien from Texas State University and Ledell Thomas from Prairie View A&M University received the Preservation Scholarship awards, and worked with the THC’s Archeology and Community Heritage Development divisions.

In fall 2017, following the devastation by Hurricane Harvey, the Friends secured $30,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities Chairman’s Emergency Fund, for the restoration of collections at Fulton Mansion State Historic Site. This site, and the historic mansion, suffered severe damage from Harvey, and the building and collections were severely impacted. In addition to the NEH funding, the Friends raised another $6,000 from Humanities Texas, and a $5,000 grant from the San Antonio Conservation Society, for collections restoration.

In January 2018, the Friends hosted the Real Places 2018 conference in partnership with the THC, raising close to $50,000 in sponsorships to underwrite some of the conference costs, including registrations and lodging stipends for attendees.

The Friends’ 2018 summer Preservation Scholars Program received over 24 applications, and two students were selected—Halee Robinson, native of McKinney and a student of history and political science at Vanderbilt University worked with the History Programs Division on the Undertold Markers Program; and Calvin Blair, native Houstonian and a student of history at the University of Houston worked with the Community Heritage Development Division on the Emancipation Avenue project in Houston.

In addition to the programs and projects listed above, during the last two years, the Friends organization has received or facilitated additional grants from the Summerlee Foundation (for the World War I Legacy Project); the Still Water Foundation (for the DowntownTX.org Project); Texas Independent Bankers Association (for the Main Street First Lady’s Tour); and the National Park Service (for the Seagoville Internment Camp: Detainee Mural and ‘Japanese Colony’ Study, and the Camino Real de los Tejas Historic Building Survey and Data Sharing Workshop).

The Friends currently has over 200 Texas Heroes contributors who donate toward unrestricted funds that benefit THC programs.

TEXAS HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDE COMMISSION

In 2009, the Texas Legislature created the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission (THGC) and assigned it administratively to the THC. It was established to ensure resources are available to students, educators, and the public about the Holocaust and other genocides while raising awareness that shines a light on these topics.

THGC staff traveled across the state during the 2017–18 biennium to present one-day educator workshops on the Holocaust and other genocides. These educational outreach efforts were accomplished in collaboration with Holocaust museums and other educational nonprofit organizations. Workshops have been conducted in all 20 of the state’s educational regions. Furthermore, the hire of the THGC’s first Hispanic Outreach Coordinator will bring attention of these topics to this growing population.

The THGC continued to prioritize education by expanding upon the Online Digital Library for Educators (ODLE). Commissioners, staff, and volunteer scholars have compiled an extensive list of resources that educators can use to meet Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills requirements as they teach Holocaust and genocide topics in Texas classrooms. These resources are available to Texas educators through The University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP) and house a collection of complete poems, essays, and short stories; chapters from memoirs and novels; and film clips.

During the past biennium, the THGC continued to expand on the Texas Liberators Project. The THGC, through a contract with Texas Tech University, produced a digital application, resource website, printed book, and traveling exhibit. The digital application/resource website is being used by educators across the state in conjunction with the printed book to teach this important part of Texas history. The project culminated in November 2017, when the Texas Liberators were honored at the State Capitol and the traveling exhibit was officially unveiled for public showing.

The THGC successfully administered eight grants to nonprofit organizations during the biennium by providing funds for educational public projects in El Paso, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, and McAllen. In addition, the Friends of the THGC administered grants to 10 teachers across the state promoting Holocaust and genocide education. Hundreds of Texas students participated in the THGC’s video and essay contests, allowing public and private school students from grades 6–12 to delve into complex human issues while presenting information and solutions.

The THGC partnered with The University of Texas Health School of Nursing to develop “Caring Corrupted: The Killing Nurses of the Third Reich” education film. It is a resource available to all Texas nursing preparatory programs for discussion on medical malpractice and is available through the ODLE. In addition, the THGC, in partnership with UTEP, is now offering ethics modules designed to provide college-level faculty with effective strategies to improve the integration and teaching of ethics into the core curriculum of entry-level college courses across disciplines. Finally, the THGC has showcased “Vedem: The Underground Magazine of the Terazine Ghetto.” This traveling exhibit—with stops in College Station, Amarillo, Austin, and Brenham— recounts the story of a group of teenage boys who created a zine as a form of resistance to life in the ghetto.

CONCLUSION

The THC has come a long way since its humble beginnings as the Texas State Historical Survey Committee in 1953. This report proudly documents the THC’s many impressive accomplishments during the past biennium, while maintaining focus on the positive direction awaiting Texas and our agency in the coming years.

The THC has effectively documented and preserved Texas’ historical legacy, and we will continue to pursue this passion for preservation—from educating new and native Texans about our state’s proud history, to creating jobs and economic development opportunities, to identifying and designating irreplaceable historic sites. For more than six decades, the agency has helped communities across the state develop strong ties to their roots through revitalization projects and educational programs. We will continue to serve the State of Texas and its citizens by providing these vital needs as long as necessary resources are available.

During the past biennium, we have solidly advanced our mission, integrated our values, and offered new services to communities across the state. We are enthusiastic and hopeful that the coming two years will allow us to further advance our mission and provide new generations in a changing Texas with a connection to their past. Now more than ever, the THC will ensure Texas’ real places are telling their real stories. J

GRANTS AWARDED

Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program Former Gov. George W. Bush and the Texas Legislature created the Texas Historical Commission’s (THC) Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program in 1999, and it has since awarded more than $290 million to 99 counties for the preservation of their county courthouses. The return on this investment has been significant. Including the 2017–18 appropriation of $20 million, construction activity related to the program has or will have created over 10,898 jobs, and generated more than $44 million in local taxes, and more than $612 million in wages in Texas. The program has further enhanced heritage tourism in communities across the state.

Texas Preservation Trust Fund The THC awards grants for preservation projects from the Texas Preservation Trust Fund. The fund is currently managed by the Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company. The investment earnings are distributed as matching grants to qualified applicants for acquisition, survey, restoration, and preservation or for planning and educational activities for historic properties, archeological sites, and associated collections of the State of Texas. Applications are available each year or as announced by the THC. Competitive grants are awarded on a one-to-one match basis and are paid as reimbursement of eligible expenses incurred during the project. However, during fiscal year 2018, the THC specifically created an emergency grant for properties and sites damaged by Hurricane Harvey in the state declared disaster area. Due to the natural disaster, the THC did not require a match on the emergency grants.
