THF Grant Presentation: Preservation Texas, Kosse
THF Director David Martinez will host a presentation for Preservation Texas 10 a.m. Sunday, September 18 in honor of the grant awarded in April to fund the ongoing rehabilitation of the 1915 White's Hardware storefront in downtown Kosse, part of a plan to convert the building for use as Bassett Farms Visitor Center. Preservation Texas has long been active in the preservation of heritage sites in the region, with their nearby holding Bassett Farms Conservancy being developed for use as a preservation training center.
With the opening of Bassett Farms Visitor Center, Preservation Texas hopes to make use of the space as a regional tourism hub and community space, as well as much needed archive and office space for the nearby Conservancy.
