Why Does a Heritage Museum Matter?

  • Heritage preservation is about promoting the core values we cherish. For example, along with the history of the Texas cowboy, pioneer life, and the Longhorn, come the time-honored lessons of hard work, individual self-determination, and the pioneer spirit; ideals still meaningful and relevant today.

  • The CTHM will be more than a museum: it will offer public meeting spaces for learning, volunteer involvement, and fellowship; much-needed amenities that give a community appeal and vibrancy. And, it will have a positive impact on our local and regional economy by providing a prime heritage tourism destination.


Blazing New Trails: Our Fundraising Efforts

Blazing New Trails The Board, Capital Campaign Committee and Advisors are spearheading fundraising efforts by continuing to actively pursue local, state, and national government grants, foundation support, and corporate underwriting. But, a significant percentage of our financial goal must be met with pledges from individuals, families and local businesses in our area. For this reason we personally invite you to join the Trailblazers and Pioneer Circle, and be prominently recognized in a permanent display within the Museum.
