Restoration expert Bill Marquis has finished our log house!  Stop by to look around outside (we can't go inside until the city has obtained a certificate of occupancy and ADA certification).  For information see Log Cabin Update at right, or feel free to contact us with questions.  We hope the cabin will be available for fourth-graders and others to tour come fall. 

     Also, enjoy some old columns by Dave Lieber that not only add insight and sparkle to Southlake history but tug at your heartstrings, too.  See the Behind the News button at right.

Dear Friends,

     Pull up a chair and come on in!  We are excited to welcome you to Southlake's new "museum" -- the web site of the Southlake Historical Society.  Whether you are an old-timer or a newcomer, living in Southlake is a much richer experience when you know its history.

     From the pioneering Lonesome Dove Baptist Church (where do you think Larry McMurtry got the name?) to Dragon football tradition, there is much in Southlake for you and your family to learn about and be proud of.

     Start your journey by clicking Read All About It and Magical History Tour, both at right.  Also, explore the Timeline in History, above.

     And while you're at it -- do you have a story to tell about your life in Southlake?  Or about your Southlake business?  Click History, above, and simply type in your remembrances.  Also, let us know if you have photos of interest, and we can arrange to scan them.  

     Visit often, as we've just begun to put onto this site some of the many photos of Southlake people and places, oral histories and interviews, documents, maps, newspaper stories, etc., that we've collected or been given.  

     Meanwhile, we're glad you stopped by.  As the pioneers said when offering hospitality: The latchstring is always out!

     Cordially, Anita Robeson, President
