Programs

Serving up some scandalous stories from the Capitol's past.
Program Details
Held on the first Wednesday of every month, High Noon Talks highlight interesting and often untold topics through this casual lunch-time lecture.
Construction of the Texas Capitol began in February 1882 and from the beginning it was one of the most ambitious construction projects west of the Mississippi. Since its inception, the red granite statehouse has loomed large in Texas lore. In his most recent book, author Mike Cox digs up a quarry's worth of the capitol's untold history. Join us for a talk on the iconic landmark and tales of election rigging, an unsolved murder, land swaps and pre-dedication blackmail.
