The Eastland County Museum has been without any heating or cooling for over two years now. A generous donation was given for new hvac in the Museum but additional funds are needed.

Dustin Rhoads, former HLCS grant recipient, is leading a special event to take place in Eastland, TX on Friday, September 8, starting at 10:00am. Any members who would like to help make “seed balls” and distribute them at a location in Eastland are asked to meet at the Eastland county courthouse at 10:00am. Dustin is organizing the event to help restore native plants and habitat to support horned lizards. Eastland, TX (home to the annual Ripfest event) historically had a good population of horned lizards, but not many Texas horned lizards have been observed there in the last 10 years. Native American Seed has marketed a seed mix of native plants to encourage people to plant to support horned lizard habitat.
Motorists should expect daily shoulder and various lane closures as well as probable delays in this location during construction.
How can two people that lived in two very different time periods be connected? How can a person and a village on the other side of the world be connected? Join us at 2:00pm on September 17th at the Majestic Theatre in Eastland to see Die Ecke (The Corner). A German produced documentary regarding a picture taken of a US soldier during the final days of WWII and how it has connected people all over the world. Die Ecke features Robert Culverhouse, an Eastland native, and honors the memory of Robert Wynne, also an Eastland native. After the documentary, the Eastland County Museum will be open for guests from 4:00-6:00 pm to view the family heirlooms and WWII artifacts of Robert Wynne. The Wynne (Hanna) family will be there along with the German producer to answer any questions.
