Let Us Introduce Ourselves
Texana Living History
Association, a not-for-profit organization, provides a
unique blend of entertainment, education, history and
performing arts by portraying legendary Texans. Some of
these are well known Texas heroes and some are lesser known,
but heroes just the same. In addition to specific Historic
Characters, many of our volunteers have also
developed fictional Composite Characters who can
relay history as it was experienced by numerous Texas
pioneers.
After in-depth research of the character, surrounding
events, and clothing of that time period, the volunteer
tells their character’s story in the first person. As they
unveil the hidden truths about Texas history and the
personalities who shaped it, you will laugh, cry, ponder,
and even clear up a fact or two.
The performance format can very from casual meet-and-greets,
individual monologues, or formal staged productions. We also
offer customized Pioneer
and/or chuckwagon Campsites
as well as numerous Pioneer
Life Skills and Crafts Demonstrations and Workshops.
Programs may be tailored to accommodate audiences from
children to seniors. Our programs meet many of the TEKS
curriculum objectives. Fourth grade and seventh grade gain
special benefits as related to Texas History.
Texana’s credits include public and private schools, Scouts,
numerous historical organizations and parks, cultural
festivals, corporate dinners, debutante receptions, fund
raisers, parties, teacher workshops, etc.
Add donations are deductible to the fullest extent allowed
