The Plano Conservancy's popular Archaeology Fair returns on October 8th at Haggard Library from 1 to 4 pm. Haggard Library is located at 2501 Coit Rd, Plano, TX 75075.
Did you know that Plano once had a winning semipro baseball team? And its own university, boasting a pagoda imported from Malaysia? Or that the city once proudly proclaimed itself the "Mule Capital of the World"? Meet the Native American Planoite who walked in space, the African American entrepreneur who prospered in Jim Crow Texas and the man behind the "mystery stone" uncovered in the Collinwood House. Visit a military tank, a five-hundred-year-old tree and the pioneer cemetery started by a smallpox epidemic. From the town's contributions to World War II to the secrets lurking beneath Collin Creek Mall, unlock the astonishingly large storehouse of Plano's hidden history.
Written by Plano Conservancy Board Members Mary Jacobs & Cheryl Smith and Director Jeff Campbell. The book is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and at the Interurban Railway Museum.
