Event Details


Come to our November Monthly Meeting and hear Tiffany Wright, our Archives Manager, speak about the Society’s William Knox Tate Collection. You may have seen some information in the newsletter and on our Facebook page about the 1890’s Wedding Dress that is part of this collection. Tiffany has had the honor of speaking with the family that donated the collection, and she will provide us with more information about this interesting couple, their ties to Tyler Texas, how they met, and where life took them.

The William Knox Tate Collection will continue to be on display through this Saturday, October 20th, so you still have a few days to visit our Museum and see this fabulous wedding dress.

The General Meeting of the Smith County Historical Society will meet the first Tuesday of every month at the Payne Auditorium. From 6:30 to 7 pm is a social time to visit with other members and guests with light refreshments. The Meeting starts at 7 pm with a short business meeting and announcements followed by a program that will usually cover Smith County Historical topics on events, families or locations that should be of great interest to our members.

If you have questions, comments, concerns, or even something you would like presented to the board, please contact our Office Manager at (903) 592-5993!
