The Brenham Heritage Museum invites the public to attend their new Freedom Colonies exhibit at the Bus Depot Gallery. The exhibit entitled “Freedom Colonies: Tracing Historic Black Settlements of Washington County” explores the stories of former slaves and descendants who established entire local communities following their Emancipation. Little is known about much of the African-American experience in those post-Civil War years, and museum officials say that they look forward to introducing that history to a new audience. The Gallery is open every Saturday from 10am-4pm. Other visitation times are available by appointment. The Freedom Colonies Exhibit runs through March 26.
In conjunction with the exhibit will be the first installment of the Seth McMeans Lecture Series on Monday, February 28, at noon in the Bus Depot Gallery. The guest speaker is Dr. Andrea Roberts of Texas A&M University. She will explore a half dozen of the largest Freedom Colonies in Washington County. Dr. Roberts will provide both overall background and specifics about the local communities. The Seth McMeans Lecture Series is free to all Brenham Heritage Museum members and only $5 for non-members.

Buddy Check Day
2022-03-11 | TX, United States
Veterans connect on Buddy Check Day
AUSTIN, TX – The 11th day of each month is Buddy Check Day to remind Texas veterans to check in with other veterans. By getting in touch with others, veterans may enjoy comradery, check on each other’s well-being and connect another veteran with a service they can use.
Buddy Check can be as simple as picking up the phone, just talk, text, or visit. Share this video as a reminder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft0pWRO3I98 .
“Of course, it’s a good idea to check on each other more often; but sometimes we forget. So set your alarm and program a reminder for the 11th day of every month as Buddy Check Day,” said Laura Koerner, Texas Veterans Commission Chairwoman and U.S. Navy Veteran.
Veterans wanting to expand their circle or curious about services may be interested in the following:

Veterans looking for a peer to talk with can find them through the Military Veteran Peer Network (MVPN). Talking with a Peers is beneficial, plus they know the resources & services in their area. Find the MVPN near your area at https://www.milvetpeer.net/page/custompage_map . Interested in volunteering as a Peer, visit www.milvetpeer.net
The Texas Veterans Network is a statewide collaborative of hundreds of community-based organizations and government agencies that holistically serve the veteran and military community. Connect with the Texas Veterans Network through Combined Arms https://www.combinedarms.us/tvn or with Unite Texas https://texas.uniteus.com/veterans-network/
Veterans can connect with other veterans and receive assistance with VA disability Claims and health care from the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) at www.tvc.texas.gov . Additionally, TVC offers programs and services for employment, education, and entrepreneurs around the state, as well as a Women Veterans Network.

Helping veterans starts here. The Texas Veterans Commission advocates for and provides superior service to veterans that will significantly improve the quality of life for all Texas veterans, their families, and survivors. The TVC assists veterans with receiving their benefits, provides funding to agencies which provide direct services to veterans and administers the Hazlewood Act education benefits.
