    FESTIBA 2024: Dr. García's Gold

    Let’s tell the story of gold that was buried under a house during the Great Depression and then uncovered by a plumber many years later. It is an exciting story and yet under told story in South Texas history that highlights not only a family that buried the gold, but a story of unprecedented philanthropic generosity in the history of South Texas and in American history. The content for this session comes from a family archival collection that was donated to the Museum of South Texas History in 2022. This was recorded during FESTIBA on Friday, March 1, within Dr. García's Gold exhibit.

Museum CEO Francisco Guajardo and archivist Melissa Peña explore and share the history of the Underground Railroad to find commonalities and differences that may be geographical, political, cultural, and social.
