NTHC tells the story of North Texas history and culture from pioneer times up to the early 20th century through both traditional exhibits and less traditional hands-on experiences.
The first immigrants to North Texas arrived in the 1830s, mostly from Tennessee, Kentucky, the Carolinas, and other Upper Southern and Midwestern states. The pioneering exhibit showcases why people came to Texas, the life of pioneer era women, a day in the life of a child, and the technology that “brought us out of the mud.”
Developed by the staff of the North Texas History Center, the new exhibit will help children and adults alike think about the past in a new way.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
