Photo Book Project

Project Details

For more than 200 years, people have called Colorado County home. From its towering live oaks, fertile soil, shaded banks of the twisting Colorado River, and abundant wildlife, the draw to the area by early settlers is easy to understand. Today, residents praise the warm hospitality, welcoming smiles, and friendly small-town atmosphere.

To celebrate our love of Colorado County, Columbus Historical Preservation Trust has created a one-of-a-kind, photographic celebration of our community. Seasons of Colorado County, a true community project, is a stunning coffee table book featuring photographs highlighting all areas of Colorado County through the changing of the seasons.

Seasons of Colorado County is a visual journey through time and the changing of the seasons. Explore the heart of one of Texas’ most historic and captivating regions. From its expansive prairies to rolling green hills, Colorado County’s natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and rich multi-cultural heritage make it a special place to live, work, and play.

Featuring essays from The Honorable Ty Prause, Sandra C. Thomas, PhD, Ester Chandler, Charlotte Tilotta, Karen Beken, Robby Cook, Thomas B. Hancher, MD, and James Kearney, PhD. and more than 200 photos from 70 community members, Seasons of Colorado County is a piece of art to be treasured by all who view its pages.
