Join us for a one-of-a-kind celebration honoring Lake Jackson’s very first homes—the historic duplexes! Built in 1943 for Dow employees, these homes were the foundation of a thriving community, where early residents braved mosquitoes, mud, and long treks for supplies—but always found joy in their pioneering spirit.
Celebration Highlights:
Enjoy vintage images & classic tunes
Record & share your own duplex story
Fun kids’ activities for all ages
Don’t miss the Panel Chat with former duplex residents at 1 PM
Delicious food & drinks available
Special Feature: Be among the first to get a copy of "Against All Odds: The Lake Jackson Duplexes," a newly released book capturing the incredible history of these homes and the people who made them special.
Thank you, sponsors! Vernor Material & Equipment; Corby W. Gotcher, D.D.S.; Help, Inc.; Vic & Rhonda Wade; and Smokey & Cynthia Roye.
