Historic post cards are now available at the Red River Historical Museum, 301 S. Walnut in Sherman.  Taken from photographs in the museum collection, there are eight different scenes of moments in Grayson County history. 

Included is the day in April 1905 when President Theodore Roosevelt addressed over 25,000 area residents from the steps of the old courthouse, an Interurban car with holiday passengers riding to Wood Lake, a view of boats gliding on Wood Lake, the Grayson County courthouse in 1890 with cotton-laden wagons surrounding the square, the 1869 “birthplace” of Sherman Male & Female College, later known as Kidd-Key College, the 1879 reunion of the Grayson County Old Settlers Association, the Sherman Carnegie Library building, now the Red River Historical Museum, as it looked in the 1930’s and the oil-on-wood portraits of three Muses painted in 1934 by Texas artist, James Swann, which still hang in the Carnegie building.

The post cards, made possible through matching grants from the Sherman Council for the Arts & Humanities and the Friends of the Red River Historical Museum, can be purchased in the museum store Tuesday through Saturday, 10-4pm. For more information contact museum director, Marcia Rolbiecki, at 903-893-7623.
