The Museum of North Texas History is the only general history museum in Wichita Falls. We bring history to life through our exhibits, our programs and lectures, and the shared experiences of our staff and volunteers. We strive to show how our rich heritage built North Texas, how it is relevant to our lives today, and how it shows our potential for the future.

Today we recognize Lyndon B. Johnson Day, observed annually on August 27 to honor the birthday of the 36th President of the United States.

Born in Stonewall, Texas, LBJ assumed the presidency following the assassination of president John F Kennedy in 1963. He led the nation from 1963 to 1969 and championed landmark legislation including the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, Medicare, and Medicaid.

While remembered for his vision of the "Great Society" and its sweeping domestic reforms, Johnson's legacy remains complex due to the escalation of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.

This state holiday was created by the Texas Legislature following his death in 1973 to commemorate his lasting impact on American history and public service.

Women's Equality Day commemorates the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which officially granted women the constitutional right to vote on August 26, 1920. Decades of determination, advocacy, and leadership by the women's suffrage movement made this possible.

Women's Equality Day was first celebrated in 1971 with the purpose to raise awareness about the importance of gender equality in society and to recognize the hard work and sacrifices made by the pioneers in the suffrage movement.

Let us use this moment to reflect on the progress that has been made and the ongoing work to advance equality, inclusion, and opportunity for all.

The Museum of North Texas History joins our friends and colleagues around the world, especially those at the soon-to-open Dolly's Life of Many Colors Museum in Nashville, in remembering the life of an incomparable force for good in this world... the one and only Dolly Parton... who passed away earlier today at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, Tennessee at the age of 80.

Throughout a career that spanned 60 years, Dolly not only touched hearts but used every opportunity to make the world a better place. There will be many words said of her life and impact in the coming days, but the two that will be spoken and shared most often will be the simplest and dearest... Thank you.

Remembering Dolly Rebecca Parton

Today we recognize Hawaii Statehood Day, commemorating Hawaii’s admission as the 50th state on August 21, 1959.

After being annexed by the United States in 1898 and serving a critical role in Pacific operations during World War II, Hawaii's residents overwhelmingly supported statehood. Following a successful 1959 vote, President Eisenhower signed the proclamation making Hawaii the newest state in the Union.
