West Texas Heritage Days
Honors Colonel Richard McTaggart

Our March West Texas Heritage Days was a great success.  Despite the cold weather on Friday, we had over 600 students from area schools attend Education Day.  Saturday’s temperatures were a little warmer. Our guests were entertained by many exhibits, demonstrations and period music from the Ice House Brass Band.  In addition to the usual living history events, Fort McKavett SHS, the Texas Historical Commission, and local governments honored Colonel Richard McTaggart for his long years of dedication to his country, state, community and to Fort McKavett.  He was presented with a plaque that now hangs on the wall outside the Fort’s Research Library, dedicating the Research Wing to the Colonel.
