The City of Lewisville is throwing a historical bash to mark its centennial and you're invited. As part of a year-long celebration for its 100th anniversary, Lewisville has unveiled four rotating history exhibits showcasing the city's evolution. For those interested in tracing the city’s footsteps—even if said feet were once horse hooves or train wheels—the exhibits offer a retrospective across 180 years of local legacy.
Foray into "Welcome to Lewisville," now gracing the Lewisville Public Library with tales of how this locale has been a crossroads for travelers via stagecoach, railroad, and more. Meanwhile, Lewisville City Hall is taking numbers to a whole new level with "Lewisville by the numbers," mapping out the city’s demographic explosion. At The Vista shopping center, delve into "Lewisville in War and Peace," highlighting local responses to conflicts that have rippled through the nation.
And for those with their heads in the clouds, "Lewisville from the Air" at Thrive will feed your aerial appetites with snapshots of the city's transformative topography. If you're keen on seeing these slices of history, participate in the local time travel before December 31st—and best of all, it won't cost a dime.
Each exhibit will rotate quarterly between the Lewisville Public Library, Lewisville City Hall, Lewisville Thrive, and The Vista shopping center giving locals multiple chances to catch them through different lenses. The exhibits' migration patterns and operational hours are handily listed on the City of Lewisville.
And there's more, the centennial celebration isn't just about the past; it's about community bonds. Alongside these exhibits, Lewisville has a calendar teeming with events including community picnics, tree plantings, and all kinds of historically themed recreations, so stay tuned. One thing's for certain, Lewisville is not just celebrating a century of history.
