Fort Concho looks to revitalize exhibits and displays
Bob Bluthardt
Thanks to a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and with additional support from the Fort Concho Foundation, we have completed a major study on the exhibits and their interpretation at the fort, as well as a short- and long-range plan for their changes and improvement.
Directed by the fort’s curator of history, Cory Robinson, this extensive evaluation of our current exhibits and future needs engaged Dr. John Langellier of Tucson, Arizona, a noted researcher and author of dozens of publications on the frontier military.
