From the earliest foot paths to modern highways, people have traversed Texas to make connections. The creation of a trail system through early Texas, the arrival of railroads in the late 19th century, and the superhighways in use today were a cumulative work of many centuries and peoples, though the builders would not have thought of themselves as collaborators. Historic maps provide a glimpse into these journeys. Through the cartographic resources of the Texas General Land Office and the personal collection of Frank and Carol Holcomb of Houston, Connecting Texas: 300 Years of Trails, Rails, and Roads invites you to learn about how Texas and Texans have connected over the last three centuries. The exhibit runs at the Witte Museum in San Antonio through September 2018.
