Center for American History

The Center's research collections date back to the opening of The University of Texas in 1883. As the University's holdings in Texas history grew, scholars urged their consolidation and special housing. In 1945, University regents created the Eugene C. Barker Texas History Center. In 1991, the Barker became a component of the newly created Center for American History (CAH), a special collections library, archive, and museum that supports research, teaching, and other activities related to the history of the U. S. The CAH is comprised of the Research and Collections Division at UT in Austin, the Sam Rayburn Library and Museum in Bonham and the Winedale near Round Top.

Henkel Square Pioneer Museum Village

Round Top, Texas

History, Historic House, Specialized

The Texas Pioneer Arts Foundation operates the Henkel Square Pioneer Museum Village right in the heart of historic Round Top. It is a collection of buildings dating from the 1830's to 1900, all of which are fully furnished with artifacts from the extensive Bybee Collection. The buildings include a simple log cabin, a church/schoolhouse, several two-story dog-trot homes, a restored barn and an 1875 Apothecary. The Apothecary serves as the entrance to the museum and as a gift shop. The original owners built this in 1875 and the wife ran a photography studio in the back corner while the husband ran a pharmacy.

MUSEUM CONFERENCES

March 10 - March 13, 2026

California Association of Museums 2026 Annual Conference

California Association of Museums

Omni Hotel

Los Angeles, California

CAM is hard at work planning for the 2026 conference, set to take place from March 10–13, 2026 in Los Angeles. We look forward to highlighting best practices and innovative ideas from California's museum community at CAM 2026: Reframing

Reframing encapsulates the tangible nature of museum work–what we restore, revive, and rebuild–and the intangible nature of museum work–where we reflect, interpret, educate, and shift perspectives. On a larger scale, Reframing gives us the power to redefine who we are, why we’re important, and how we connect with and show up for our community. Reframing is resistance and resilience.

We look forward to reuniting with the California museum community in Los Angeles, March 10–13, 2026 at the Omni Hotel. Stay tuned for more annual conference developments.
