Here's a pointed reminder on #WorldHeartDay to protect your heart by eating whole foods like nopalitos! @F_BBRSP #FortLeatonSHS #TxStateParks #CactusDelores

@travisbubenik @BigBendNPS My husband says to include M1 Abrams tanks in that assessment.

@TexasMonthly @thetexanist My Washington County coworker requested that we call them pigs-in-a-blanket for her sanity.

We're celebrating #NationalDogDay standing at attention for ol' Sarg who kept these officers in line during the building of Daingerfield State Park in 1935. #betteroutside #CivilianConservationCorps @TXStateParks

On this day in 1936, crews put the final touches on the Daingerfield State Park dam getting it ready for stocking with milk (😉). #TXStateParks #fishinglife

We’re grateful for all the staff who persevere through the heat at 6:30am. This brings new meaning to ‘blazing new trails’ at Lake Brownwood State Park. @TPWDparks #throwingshade @TPWDCultural

Happy 4th from Texas State Parks!

[Texas Parks Curation @TxParksCuration]

Summer is a great time for reunions! Back in 2008, these CCC enrollees got together to celebrate the 75th anniversary of building Texas State Parks. We thank them every single day. @TXParksCCC

Happy #FathersDay and #Juneteenth! In 1963, an Austin Boy Scout troop integrated the #BastropStatePark pool. @TXStateParks #betteroutside

Where are you heading this weekend? In May of 1963, these state parks were prepping for the onslaught of summer visitors. @TXStateParks #longweekend

Visit today's car version of the Pecos River Bridge when @SeminoleCanyon #betteroutside

[Traces of Texas @TracesofTexas]

Holy moly! TOT reader Francis Reaves kindly shared this great circa 1895 photo of a train crossing the high bridge over the Pecos River near Langtry. If you have a large computer monitor, check out the architectural details ... the underpinnings, the foundation/footings etc ...

@Battleship_TX Looks like we have some cataloging to do! Cool.

[Texas Parks Curation @TxParksCuration]

Happy #FlagDay! How're you rocking the flag? @Battleship_TX #TxStateParks

[Texas Parks Curation @TxParksCuration]

It's #NationalBallpointPenDay--we're celebrating with the pen that signed the final 1955 land purchase for Big Bend National. BBSP became BBNP in 1943, but formal dedication was delayed until this purchase. Everything's bigger in TX 🤣 #TxStateParks @BigBendNPS

#DDay bird's eye view from the Battleship Texas

[Texas Parks Curation @TxParksCuration]

Hey, @Battleship_TX! Are you saving a seat for us in dry dock on the port or starboard side? #TxStateParks

[ABC13 Houston @abc13houston]

Now that the dry dock has arrived in Galveston, the 110-year-old Battleship Texas will be moved from its longtime spot in La Porte for repairs. https://t.co/WDwxaMxfv8
