“The summit is an annual event to bring together those within Tarrant County who are advocates of preserving history,” the TCHC says via Facebook. “Congratulations to this year's award winners!”
This is just the latest in accolades that the Southlake Historical Society has recently received. Over the summer, the Southlake Historical Society was also recognized with the Leadership In History award from the American Association for State And Local History for its exhibit on Bob and Almeady Chisum Jones last summer.
