Lost Towns Reception
Come and meet the ghosts of Bates, Camey, Erudia, Foncine, Lebanon, and Rock Hill – six towns established on the north Texas prairie that turned to dust as Frisco grew. A reception signals the official opening of “The Lost Towns of Frisco” exhibit. A tour and presentation by Heritage Association board member and exhibit designer Donna Anderson will share how the exhibit came to be, the history of its artifacts, and how the research for the exhibit evolved into a book. The author, Rita Crowder, will be on hand to sign your book.
