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. ... moreDallas
