Lindalyn Adams

Grand Dame of Texas Treasures, Lindalyn Adams - As a Lifetime Trustee of the Dallas Historical Society, I am pleased to invite you to join in a unique partnership to help preserve and showcase the history of Dallas and Texas.

The Society preserves over three million historical artifacts, documents, photographs, and books. Each of those items has a story to tell; collectively they present the diverse mosaic of our shared history.

Some of these invaluable objects are rarely seen by the public. That is about to change...

Now you can display these items and their stories in your office, conference rooms, and lobby through our new Texas Treasures program.

Your participation as a Texas Treasures partner helps The Dallas Historical Society conserve its incredible collection. Together, we can assure that future generations will share in the exploration and appreciation of our history and culture.
