SUMMARY:Windows Into History
DESCRIPTION:Through the Windows into History visitors can journey back in time to witness the first Europeans setting foot near the Ayish Bayou and learn about the Ais Indians who once thrived here. The story of Mission Dolores, established in 1717, unfolds alongside the rich history of El Camino Real, the King’s Highway that traversed from Natchitoches, LA to Mexico City, passing right through San Augustine. The tales of Davy Crockett’s visit, the notorious 1830s gunfight over a land dispute, and the involvement of the Texas Rangers in our town are brought to vivid life. You can also uncover 15 unique “firsts” attributed to San Augustine and delve into the legacy of the Timber Industry, the iconic Cullen House, and the heyday of Bland Lake, a popular recreational hotspot in the early 1900s. Experience the delightfully furnished 1930s dollhouse, learn about the history of our local newspaper, the Tribune, and witness the changes that came to East Texas with the arrival of electricity. See the Sinclair Station famously photographed by Russell Lee, and enjoy the narrative of generations of a farming family. Delight in the artist’s rendition and the story of Mr. Weathered and his mules.\nTake a stroll around the square. Windows into History is an artistic three-dimensional tour that breathes life into San Augustine’s vibrant past. Conceived and created by local artists, artisans, and historians, this project is a celebration of our deep roots in Texas history. \nDISPLAY SCHEDULE:\nCurrently, 18 meticulously crafted exhibits are on display throughout the town, each accompanied by QR codes that reveal videos produced by local citizens, accessible via smartphone. Funded by a generous donation from the Lions Club and a grant from the Summerlee Foundation, this Main Street project invites everyone to explore our heritage.\nHoliday Season Display: Windows into History will yield to Windows of Light after Thanksgiving and through the Christmas season. 2024 will mark the third year of this delightful holiday tradition of volunteer groups and local businesses decorating the windows in town for the season. The Windows complement the Courthouse square, traditionally lit up by the San Augustine Garden Club.\n2025 Display: Windows into History will return in January 2025.\n
