Join us in June for an exceptional meeting! Our guest speaker will be Don Graves, the 101-year-old Marine who is one of the last survivors of the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. When he spoke at Texas Independence Day ceremonies in February, he held the audience riveted.
His history is exactly that of the "ordinary heroes" that have pulled this country through tough times. There's a reason they've been called "The Greatest Generation," and you don't want to miss hearing his stories.
The Grapevine Historical Society meets monthly at the Vine Arts Center,
225 W. Worth Street. Meetings are free and open to the pulbic.
Grapevine is one of the oldest communities in Tarrant County, tracing its roots back to 1844. This city, for many years a small farming town, grew rapidly in the last half of the 20th century and is now a dynamic place with a rich history which we invite you to explore with us.
