From January 31, 2022 through February 27, 2022, Ranger College’s Golemon Library will present “The Way Things Were: Texas Settlers and Their Buildings, 1860s – 1930s,” an exhibition produced by Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The exhibition will be available at no charge to the public from January 31 through February 27. The display will be available during all regular library hours: Monday – Thursday 8:00 AM to 9:30 PM, Friday 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and Sunday 4:30 PM to 9:30 PM. For more information or to arrange group visits, contact Helen Cozart, Assistant Librarian, at 254-267-7022 or hcozart@rangercollege.edu.
“The Way Things Were” focuses on family and community life of Texas settlers as reflected in old buildings. The exhibition looks at early Texas buildings for information about settlers’ visions of community and progress and their accommodation to the physical demands and economic realities of everyday life. Print resources that accompany the exhibit help audiences explore our cultural heritage, modern attitudes toward the past and our duty to future generations.
