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 by law.

This is a full-size quilt (Finish size: 78" x 91")

The design is an adaptation of the JoAnn Fabrics' Block of the Month “Threads of the Heartland" Quilt. We have incorporated our signature Texas Wildflower Fabric (with lots of bluebonnets) and the letters T-E-X-A-S into the design as well as our signature Texas Star in each corner. The background fabric is cream on white. The accent fabrics include cranberry reds, greens, creams, and denim, royal and medium blues. The backing is a medium blue with a slightly darker small blue floral print.

The quilt was machine pieced and all quilting was done by hand by a group of ladies who belong to Texana Living History Association.

Tickets may be purchased from any Texana member.
