The Eastland County Museum is pleased and excited to announce a special exhibit from the Cisco College Art Department to open at the Museum on April 20. A Visual History of Texas, a collaborative idea between the Museum and Art Director Jodi Frizzell in honor of Texas Independence Day, showcases the talents of Frizzell’s students from both the Cisco and Abilene campuses and will be comprised of pieces created in acrylics and watercolors. Topics of the pieces range from the Battle of the Alamo to the early Christianization of the Native Americans to the Santa Claus Bank Robbery.
A special reception will be held from 6 to 8 pm Thursday, April 20 at the Eastland County Museum. Dr. Duane Hale and John Caraway will be guest speakers. Hale is a former Cisco College history professor who will discuss his own personal research on Spanish Hieroglyphs and buried treasure. Caraway, a current Cisco College professor will discuss stories and history behind several of the art pieces such as the Alamo and the involvement of Texas in World War 2.
The public is invited to attend this special event. And as always, there is no charge to visit the Eastland County Museum, located at 114 S. Seaman St., in downtown Eastland. Museum hours are Thursdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
