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 multi-purpose 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
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.
