WACO, TX

Waco Skyline from Interstate 35, Waco, TX Founded prior to European settlement as a village of the indigenous Waco people, the city of Waco was settled by European-Americans beginning in 1838, and was platted in 1849. The city began to grow in the 1860s with the completion of the Waco Suspension Bridge, which allowed traffic to cross the Brazos River, and increased further with the arrival of railroads to the city in the 1880s. The city continued growing in the 20th Century, despite the setbacks of the Great Depression, racially motivated lynchings of black men, and an F5 tornado that struck Downtown Waco in 1953. The city today is the 14th largest urban area in Texas, home to approximately 268,000 people, as well as Baylor University, a large Baptist-affiliated institution of higher learning.

Historic Waco Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Waco, Texas that aims to preserve and present the history of Waco and its surrounding areas. The foundation was established in 1967 and operates five historic sites in the region, including the Earle-Napier-Kinnard House, Fort House Museum, East Terrace House Museum, McCulloch House Museum, and the Waco Suspension Bridge.

These historic properties offer visitors an opportunity to experience the rich history of the area, from the early settlement of Waco to the present day. The Earle-Napier-Kinnard House, for example, is a restored Victorian-era home that showcases the lifestyle of a wealthy family in the late 1800s. The Fort House Museum, on the other hand, is a Greek Revival-style home that provides a glimpse into the life of a middle-class family during the mid-1800s.

In addition to maintaining these historic sites, Historic Waco Foundation also offers educational programs, events, and exhibits throughout the year. These programs aim to engage visitors of all ages and backgrounds in the history of the region and its impact on the present day. Overall, the foundation plays an important role in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of Waco and Central Texas.
