TRHF has in its short existence provided programs of historical and cultural interest to members and guests at bi-monthly meetings. These programs have served to unify local citizens around common interests in the past and a common desire to preserve the artifacts and stories be it fact or myth.
Participants have learned to research and compile family histories from genealogical databases; learned how to maintain and repair monuments and gravestones in cemeteries. We have learned of the contributions of the Texas Buffalo Soldiers and the impact on professional baseball by African-Americans from Texas.
We have featured videos and live programs from the Austin's Bullock Museum such as: "The Ship that Changed History" detailing French Explorer LaSalle's expedition on his ship LaBelle which led to the largest acquisition of land by America, the Louisiana Purchase ; "Myths and Unsolved Mysteries of the Texas Revolution" identifying the causes of the Texas Revolution, and key players and events which helped a small group of revolutionaries achieve independence from Mexico; and Spanish Missions of Texas gave little known truths.
Historians, professors and passionate Texans have.
