We’re excited to welcome Kasey Kyle to the Texarkana Museums System as one of our new Museum Clerks!

Kasey holds over two decades of experience in the restaurant industry and six years in education. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in History and a Public History Certification at Texas A&M University–Texarkana.

Outside of her academic pursuits and museum work, she enjoys spending quality time at home with her husband, Rodger, their son, Jude, and their cats.

Be sure to say hello and help us give Kasey a warm TMS welcome the next time you stop by the Museum of Regional History! We’re thrilled to have her on the team!

Meet museum clerk Dominique Amanda Abbe!

A self-described “Nerd” with a background in business management, Dominique brings her love of history, creativity, and curiosity to our team. We knew she was a perfect fit from the start!

Dominique’s goal is to help make the Ace of Clubs House Tour the best it can be. She’s already been working on updating and streamlining our tour processes to make every visit even more engaging, informative, and fun.

When she’s not sharing local history, Dominique enjoys weekends by the pool, cooking with family and friends, watching anime, playing Magic: The Gathering, and spending time with her pup, “Pockets.”

Next time you visit, be sure to say hello and consider requesting Dominique for your Ace tour! She can’t wait to share the stories that make this house (and our community) so special.

Thanks to our friends for visiting!

📖 History comes to life through exploration.

A visit to the Museum of Regional History gave our adults the chance to step back in time, discover local stories, and explore exhibits that connect the past with the present. Every outing offers something new to experience and enjoy.
