Every October, the Texas Historical Commission (THC) invites Texans to explore the past through a statewide celebration of Archeology Month. Using a comprehensive Calendar and Map of Events, the THC encourages museums, historic sites, and community partners to open their doors, engage visitors, and offer hands‑on experiences that bring Texas history to life. From archeology fairs and demonstrations to walking tours, exhibits, and living‑history programs, communities across the state help make October a month of discovery.
