TxPAN presents two important topics related to the The Witte Museum's fascinating History: its connection with the Spanish Colonial period and its development during the New Deal Era.

This project is a collaborative effort between the Witte Museum, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the Texas Historical Commission and TxPAN to create a web-based exhibit of the History and Development of the Witte Museum.
