But Texas’s baseball legacy stretches far beyond, with small towns and big cities alike shaping the sport’s unique place in American history. In his presentation, Mike Vance will explore the exciting stories that brought semi-pro baseball to life across the Lone Star State.

Speaker Series: “June 1865 – The Civil War Ends in Texas”
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 23rd, when noted historian and author Dr. Paul Spellman returns for a compelling presentation: “June, 1865 – The Civil War Ends in Texas.”
In this engaging talk, Dr. Spellman will explore the dramatic final days of the Civil War as they unfolded in Texas—a region far from the eastern battlefields but deeply involved in the war’s closing chapter. From battles fought even after General Lee’s surrender to the arrival of Union forces in Galveston and the eventual emancipation of enslaved people, Texas played a unique and often overlooked role in the war’s conclusion.
