Barnhill Center at Historic Simon Theatre
In 1900, almost 40% of Americans lived in rural areas, while today, that number is less than 20%. Almost 90% of the land mass is considered non-urban. Join us in Brenham December 7 – January 19 to explore the Smithsonian exhibit titled Crossroads: Change in Rural America, and learn why revitalizing rural places matters now, and into the future. Despite demographic changes, economic innovation and a focus on cultural facets have helped make small towns unique, comfortable and desirable. Come and learn how these changes helped Brenham and Washington County create a bright future from the legacy of our rural roots.
