Current Projects

We are now in the process of updating our website!
Kim Weldon, Bob Welch and Kat Creeder have been working to update our Web Site. It is still under construction. However, we hope to have the basics finished in a few weeks. It will probably take 4-5 months to finish out the details. In the mean time, I would like for each of our performers (including composite camp characters) to please write a short bio of yourselves that can be included on the site. You may send finished Bio's to Kat at kathy.ogle@swbell.net .

We have been fortunate in the past to communicate with many descendants of our favorite Texans as well as professional and amateur Historians.   They have provided us with many wonderful anecdotal stories and little known facts that would otherwise be unavailable to us.  We value that information and believe this type of knowledge is what makes it possible for us to bring these wonderful Texans to life for Texans of today.  We would love to hear from you!

Biographies needed: Leander McNelly, Sukey Boyd, Juan Seguin, Minerva Miller, Sarah McClure, Margret Beeman Bryan, and Sarah Cockrell.

We appreciate your support!
