Sawmill History (Lunch and Learn Series)

Grab your lunch and a friend and head down to Mission Dolores State Historic Site on Friday, June 9th at 12:00 p.m. for the monthly “Lunch and Learn” program!

The program, “Sawmill History” will provide an overview of logging and sawmill operations in East Texas, as well as a glimpse of life in a sawmill town. The guest speaker for this program is Kaitlin Wieseman, the Education Coordinator for the Texas Forestry Museum. Ms. Wieseman earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and a Master of Arts in History with an emphasis in Public History from Stephen F. Austin State University.

As part of the tricentennial celebration commemorating the establishment of Mission Dolores in San Augustine, Mission Dolores State Historic Site will hold similar lunchtime programs once a month throughout 2017, covering a variety of topics related to East Texas history. We look forward to seeing you there!
