A series of community programs highlighting Medina’s rich history will kick off this week at the Medina Community Library, beginning June 23.
As part of the “Medina: One Century to Another 1865–2025” celebration, residents and former residents are invited to create history boards focused on individuals, families, ranches, businesses, or events tied to the area. The boards will be on display at the library beginning Friday, June 21.
The first of several scheduled programs will begin Sunday and continue through the summer. Organizers hope the series fosters a deeper appreciation for local heritage.
“If you come to one, you will likely enjoy it — especially the locals and previous residents who will present the history,” organizers wrote.
The first program, Football: From the First Medina Team to Today’s Game and Refereeing, begins at 4 p.m. June 23. Parents and coaches are encouraged to bring students to hear from the Hubble brothers, who will speak about the sport’s local evolution and show a genuine Super Bowl ring.
Backcountry Tales: Hunters Share Experiences and Stories Handed Down follows at 4 p.m. June 25. Attendees can expect colorful stories and possibly tall tales, with “fact-checkers likely to stay busy,” according to organizers.
The third program, Native Americans in Medina: Archeologists Look at Evidence Left by Specific Tribes, will take place at 5:30 p.m. June 26. Retired archaeologists Wade and Collin Parsons will present findings and discuss the Indigenous presence in the area.
