Texas
Centennial
Index by Sarah Reveley 5-1-08
During
the 1936 Texas Centennial celebration, the state built memorial museums,
restored historical structures, improved parks, erected statues of important
Texans, and intalled over 1,000 historical markers.
This
ongoing project will examine the extant Centennial projects and include
the stories behind them.

The Crystal City Statue That Might’ve Been
Max
Sandfield suggested that Popeye be carved from native Texas limestone.
Today the suggestion would’ve won him the contest hands-down, but
back in 1937 limestone might have been considered too dignified
for a mere cartoon character - despite whatever contributions to
nutrition-awareness. Medina, Texas has since erected an oversized
limestone apple - and courthouses around the state are carved with
a variety of flora, fauna, and limestone cowboys. It appears Mr.
Sandfield’s proposal was ahead of its time. ... more
