Join us at the Knight Museum & Sandhills Center on Tuesday, August 4, at 5:30 p.m. for an evening exploring the history, heritage, and conservation of the iconic Texas Longhorn.

Featured speaker Dr. Frank Sharp, Lead Educator for the Official State of Texas Longhorn Herd with the Texas Historical Commission, will share the remarkable story of the original Texas Longhorn, its significance in the history of the American West, and the conservation efforts underway to preserve this historic breed.

With more than 30 years of experience raising Texas Longhorns and doctoral research focused on their history and symbolism, Dr. Sharp offers a unique blend of scholarship and firsthand experience.
