Expanding our Experiences
Denton County presented their traveling museum of the African American community called Quakertown, neighboring what we now know as Texas Women's University. This community was forced to move by the city of Denton because of the then president of the university felt that in order to grow the college, a park would benefit the growth over the existing town. Today, you will find the park, recreation center, and other city amenities were the homes of freed African American built their communities after the Civil War.
Students were exposed to careers, entrepreneurship, and technology that help build their new found life as freed men and women!
