Recognition by the Texas State Historical Association

We are thrilled to announce that the Pound Town movement has received official recognition from the Texas State Historical Association! This milestone represents a significant achievement in our ongoing efforts to honor Dr. Joseph and Sarah Pound and celebrate their extraordinary legacy.

The People for Pound Town initiative is being featured in the 2026 Texas Almanac, making this the first official recognition of the movement in a major Texas historical publication. This is a testament to the dedication of everyone who has supported the mission to preserve and honor Dr. Pound's contributions to our community.

What makes this recognition particularly meaningful is that it demonstrates the broader appeal of Dr. Pound's story. His values of compassion, service, and community-building continue to resonate with Texans across the state. The Texas State Historical Association's acknowledgment validates what we've always known: that Dr. Pound's legacy deserves to be celebrated and remembered.

The 2026 Texas Almanac will be distributed to schools, libraries, and institutions throughout Texas, ensuring that Dr. Pound's story reaches a wide audience and inspires future generations to learn about our state's rich pioneer heritage.

This is just the beginning. As more people discover Dr. Pound's remarkable story, we hope that this recognition will inspire continued interest in local Texas history and the values that built our communities. Thank you to everyone who has supported the Pound Town movement and helped make this recognition possible!
