Even though Brazoria County is
experiencing a boom in its population, large areas of the county are still
primarily rural and dependent on the agricultural industry. Bountiful
Brazoria County is a snapshot of the agricultural history of Brazoria County
from the late nineteenth through the twentieth centuries. Highlights of the
exhibit include the agricultural industry of modern Brazoria County as well
as a perspective of farming as it once was, including implements and
historic photographs.
In other exhibits throughout the Museum, earlier agricultural history is
addressed. For further information on the County’s agricultural history or
to view other like photographic images, please visit the research library
located on the second floor. The exhibit will remain open until June 24,
2002.
In connection with the exhibit, a lecture entitled Citrus Varieties for the
Gulf Coast is scheduled for June 15th at 10:00 a.m. and will feature John
Panzarella of Freeport. Mr. Panzarella will relate his personal experiences
of growing citrus in Brazoria County. The exhibit and lecture are
free-of-charge and the public is cordially invited to attend.
