Once dubbed the “Switzerland of Texas,” Bandera’s transformation from an agricultural hub to a Hill Country tourist destination will be explored in a free public presentation Thursday evening.

Rebecca Norton, executive director of the Frontier Times Museum, will present The Switzerland of Texas on Thursday, July 3, at 5:30 p.m. at Bandera Middle School.

The event is part of the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling exhibit Crossroads: Change in Rural America, currently on display in the school cafeteria.
