El Camino Real de los Tejas NHT Association

On August 19, 2010, a National Park Service photographic exhibit of El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail will open in Laredo, Texas.  The photographs are the work of professor Christopher Talbot of Stephen F. Austin State University.  Please see the attached news release about the exhibit opening.

The National Park Service, in conjunction with professor Christopher Talbot of Stephen F. Austin State University and El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail Association, is promoting a photographic exhibit that documents the trail from its beginnigs at the Rio Grande to its terminus in Natchitoches, Louisiana.  The exhibit opens August 19th, 2010 in Laredo, Texas and will run through January 2012.  During that time, the exhibit will be hosted in many communities along the trail.  Please check back frequently for updates on site information.   

Please see the recently amended association bylaws.

Please see the attached PNTS article about the National Historic Trails workshop we co-hosted in San Antonio in May.
