🎺📣🎺📣 Please allow us a moment to 'toot' our horn for a moment.

We were recently honored with a Distinguished Service Award from the Texas Historical Commission for our work in 2025! This is an award that approximately only 20% of County Historic Commissions are awarded.

Big thanks to everyone who has supported the Commission - Judges, County Commissioners, Historical Commissioners, Collection Staff, and volunteers - we couldn't have done this without y'all!

If you haven't discovered the The Portal to Texas History , they have lots of great photos from us and all over Bosque County (and Texas)!

The title of this photograph is Tea Party in the Yard, but I am wondering if the "tea" might have been a completely different beverage, since it appears to be associated with a barrel. And why is the man in the background wielding a sledge hammer? Thanks to the Bosque County Historical Commission for this photograph.

We were so pleased to welcome Pamela Anderson, with the Texas Brazos Trail for our bi-monthly meeting. We loved learning about how they connect the Brazos Trail and get folks out exploring Bosque County!
