New exhibit opens at library

Now through November 23, the Medina Community Library will present “The Way Things Were: Texas Settlers and Their Buildings, 1860s-1930s,” an exhibition by Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

“The Way Things Were” focuses on family and community life of Texas settlers as reflected in old buildings. The exhibition looks at early Texas buildings for information about settlers’ visions of community and progress and their accommodation to the physical demands and economic realities of everyday life.

Print resources that accompany the exhibit help audiences explore our cultural heritage, modern attitudes toward the past and our duty to future generations.
