The French explorers of the 1700s were not the only French to settle in Texas. Come hear Dr. Schein tell you about French colonization right here in the Tarrant/Parker County areas and the Panhandle. Find out what brought them here, where they settled, and hear about the many families who left France in the late 1880s to make their own dreams come true.
