A New Deal for Texas Parks
Welcome to a New Deal for Texas Parks - an online exhibit and education center for teachers and students of Texas history, made possible in part through the generous support of Humanities Texas' Linden Heck Howell Texas History Grant. Humanities Texas is a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Flip through the pages of the scrapbook to explore how individuals, communities and landscapes in Texas were impacted by the New Deal Era. Discover how the Civilian Conservation Corps constructed many of the state parks we enjoy today. Explore a variety of primary source documents such as photographs, oral histories, letters and music that help tell this American story through the eyes of Texas.
As you experience the scrapbook, we invite you to create a keepsake of your own. Each introduction of the sections displayed in the scrapbook will have a keepsake envelope. Be sure to click on these envelopes and print the page that pops out. This page will be your guide as you engage in learning more from the impressive amount of primary sources throughout the site. In the end, you will create a keepsake of your own.
