The Bandera County Commissioners Court and the Bandera City Council have both proclaimed June 21, 2025, as Smithsonian Institution Day, coinciding with the launch of the nationally recognized “Museum on Main Street” traveling exhibition, Crossroads: Change in Rural America.

Bandera is one of only seven communities in Texas selected to host the exhibit, which will run through July 26, the National Day of the American Cowboy.

Representatives from the Frontier Times Museum, the Bandera County Historical Commission, and the Bandera County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) presented the proclamation to the Commissioners Court during its June 12 meeting.
