Speaker Series Event: June, 1865 – The Civil War Ends in Texas.

Coming This Fall to the Brenham Heritage Museum!

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 23rd, when noted historian and author Dr. Paul Spellman returns for a compelling presentation: “June, 1865 – The Civil War Ends in Texas.”

In this engaging talk, Dr. Spellman will explore the dramatic final days of the Civil War as they unfolded in Texas—a region far from the eastern battlefields but deeply involved in the war’s closing chapter. From battles fought even after General Lee’s surrender to the arrival of Union forces in Galveston and the eventual emancipation of enslaved people, Texas played a unique and often overlooked role in the war’s conclusion. Through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis, Dr. Spellman brings to life the tension, uncertainty, and transformation that defined June 1865, when the news of the Confederacy’s defeat finally reached the Lone Star State. Discover how these pivotal events shaped the beginning of Reconstruction and laid the foundation for a new era in Texas and U.S. history.

The Foreigner

Unity Theatre presents The Foreigner, a comedy by Larry Shue playing on the Main Stage October 2 – 19, 2025.

When British demolition expert Froggy brings his painfully shy friend Charlie to a Georgia fishing lodge, he claims Charlie is a foreigner who speaks no English—just to spare him from awkward conversations. But Charlie actually understands everything and soon overhears dark secrets, shady plots, and romantic entanglements the others think are safe to share. As the lies unravel, Charlie finds himself in the middle of a wild and hilarious chain of events. Clever, fast-paced, and full of heart, this comedy delivers nonstop laughs and an unexpected triumph for the underdog.
