EXHIBITS
The McClendon House was occupied by descendants of the same family for over 100 years. Many of these descendants were “pack rats” so the collection contains many artifacts, which are periodically put on display. Our collections include exhibit materials of the following:
- Pre-Civil War
- Civil War
- Reconstruction
- Texas Constitution
- Post Reconstruction
- Judge Bonners Original Handwritten Judicial Opinions
- World Wars I and II
The photos depict examples from our most recent exhibit “McClendons in War” which featured original materials from the Civil War and World Wars I & II.
