The City of Lewisville is gearing up to celebrate its storied past with the premiere of "Lewisville: 100 Years of Change," a documentary unveiling the city's transformation from a rural farming town to a thriving North Texas hub. Scheduled for December 13 at 3 p.m., the film will be shown to the public at the Huffines Performance Hall at Lewisville Grand Theater. With the promise of revealing untold stories from longtime residents and a treasure trove of archival content, this event is set to offer a unique glimpse into a century of local history, per the City of Lewisville.
Admission is quite literally the best kind of price—free. Nevertheless, those planning to attend are encouraged to quickly reserve their tickets to secure a seat in the anticipated full house. Spaces can be snagged through tix.com. Directed by Matthew Alson Thornbury, a hometown filmmaker, this documentary creation is part of the Lewisville Centennial Celebration, according to the official city announcement. It’s a poignant look back as the city reflects on its 100 years of change.
For those looking to dive even deeper into the city's past and its hopes for the future, stick around after the show. Lewisville Mayor TJ Gilmore is set to host a mayoral round table discussion, featuring former mayors David Denison, Bobbie Mitchell, and Dean Ueckert. This Q&A session is, according to the city's announcement, "audience-driven," offering attendees the chance to engage directly with Lewisville's leaders, past and present.
