Local Resources

The Cass County Conservancy has research, resources and contacts that may provide guidance and invaluable help for local preservation projects. For example, an introduction to the architectural history and a collage of images concerning the evolution of the Cass County Courthouse are included in the Cass County Conservancy Resources Section.

State and National Resources

An amazing amount of historical and preservation information is available from both public and private sources at the state and national levels. State and national agencies offer many types of assistance to individuals, organizations and governmental entities. Included here are contacts from the Texas Historical Commission's resource list, allowing you to evaluate the information and determine its usefulness for a particular project. Contacts are grouped under topical headings.
