State Historic Site Preservation

Major preservation projects that significantly improve the integrity and appearance of historic structures continue at our state historic sites.

The Texas Historical Commission’s (THC) Historic Sites is responsible for overseeing the agency’s historic properties throughout the state. Staff members provide expertise in archeology, architecture, curation, interpretation, and marketing. The sites range from Native American ceremonial mounds to grand Victorian mansions to sprawling frontier forts. The THC's state historic sites exemplify the breadth of Texas history.
