The Smithsonian Exhibit

 Event Details

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.

Into this world comes Jamie, a runaway kid who has come as far as his money will take him. At first, he thinks this town’s inhabitants are “nuttier than fruitcakes,” but soon he comes to admire, appreciate, and adore this crazy little town.
