What landscapes do people identify as sacred? 
How do people assign meaning to a place? 

From the backyard vegetable garden to a favorite vista, we establish personal connections with our environment, and connections that are a reflection of our group identity. 

This exhibit uses descriptions of Texas from diaries dating to the late 1600s, and contemporary journals of the East Texas landscape to explore the many ways we connect with our environment.

The Nacogdoches CVB has shared a driving map to guide travelers along the numerous highways in the Forest Trail.
