Join our local expert Quentin McGown for the first in his 3-part series on Fort Worth which focuses on the city’s growth and development to 1895. Starting with a discussion of the area’s prehistory and the events leading to the establishment of the 1849 military post, topics will include the development of the livestock industry, the arrival of the railroad, and the challenges of a frontier town growing into a major city. The class meets on campus for two evening lectures supplemented by two evenings of walking tours to significant locations identified with Fort Worth’s early years. Presented in partnership with TCU Extended Education.
