Last Chance Viewing for Hispanic Heritage Exhibit

The History Center for Aransas County will be open on Sat. May 30, 10-4 and Sun. May 31, 1-4 for you to have a Last Chance to view the “Hispanic Heritage in Aransas County.” Visitors have enjoyed the posters about the 500-year history, the Canary Islanders including many local families, the stories related by the Spanish classes from RFHS, and many more. Videos on tablets relate oral histories and further details about the Hispanic community in Rockport-Fulton.
