The Center for Texas Studies has an upcoming program that might be of interest to you! Our annual spring Extended Education course with local historian and Tarrant County Probate Judge Quentin McGown is coming April 25 & 27. The class will explore the history and development of Fort Worth’s world-class park system as well as citizen efforts to preserve and protect urban greenspaces leading to the City’s new Open Space Conservation Program. A two-hour interactive lecture on Thursday evening will precede a Saturday (4/27) six-hour bus tour from 9am – 3pm, with included picnic lunch, and stops at both familiar and lesser known parks and natural areas.
Quentin McGown is a sixth generation Texan and fourth generation Fort Worthian with a lifelong interest in history. In addition to practicing law, he is a planning committee member for the annual Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering and a board member of both the Tarrant County Historical Society and the Outriders, the support organization for the Fort Worth Herd.
