Curry Holden: A Landmark Visionary TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2015 – SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2016 Curry Holden, the first Director of the Museum (now the Museum of Texas Tech University), is credited with the discovery of Lubbock Lake in 1936. It all started when the young Kimmel brothers brought him bones of ancient bison and a Folsom point found there. Throughout the decades, Holden’s research championed protection of the Lubbock Lake. He oversaw excavations, worked with community leaders, and raised community awareness with his own guided tours into the late 1960s.
