Juneteenth Exhibit at Brenham Heritage Museum Bus Depot Gallery

A new exhibit focused on the history of Juneteenth in Washington County opens on Saturday at the Brenham Heritage Museum’s Bus Depot Gallery.  Celebrate! A View of Juneteenth Traditions and Customs shows the wide variety of ways that Juneteenth has been observed in Washington County since the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in Texas in June 1865.  Specific topics include parades, coronations, rodeos, concerts and entertainment, picnics, sporting events and reunions.  The exhibit will run through at least the end of July.
