Legion Plans For Museum In Texas
The American Legion aims to build a Texas Memorial Museum devoted to history and natural history with a permanent site for the Texas Legion and Auxiliary. The Connally-Patman Bill allows minting 1,500,000 Texas Centennial silver half dollars to fund the project, netting about 75,060 dollars for construction and equipment to be given to Texas as a Centennial feature. The plan is supported by the University of Texas Regents and the Legion Committee.
