Texas Archeology Month

Join us all of October for Texas Archeology Month at the Maxey House and Evergreen Cemetery. This event is a perfect opportunity for history enthusiasts and families to learn about the local archeology.

The Maxey House will have two free outdoor exhibits that can be seen by visitors throughout the entire month:

1) The first outdoor exhibit focuses on the historic structures that once stood on the grounds but are no longer there. Visitors can read more information on each of the structures by scanning QR codes placed next to each structure’s outline. The exhibit is located on site, 812 South Church Street in Paris, and can be explored seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

2) The second exhibit is located at Evergreen Cemetery, 560 Evergreen Street in Paris, where visitors will be able to learn about the meanings behind different symbols on certain gravestones by scanning QR codes. Visitors can explore Evergreen Cemetery seven days a week from dawn until dusk.
