Tracing the roots of Texas country music from the songs of early settlers to modern-day performers, this exhbition featured artifacts, instruments, and costumes from some Texas's biggest stars like Bob Wills, Roy Orbison, Townes Van Zandt, Flaco Jiménez, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, and the Dixie Chicks. A stage and other settings within the exhibit evoked the history of the Texas country sound from hoedowns to honky-tonks while providing a space for live performances and programs.
