Letter from the City Manager Breckenridge

There are several exciting things going on in the City of Breckenridge. Since arriving in Breckenridge in September 2022, I began meeting with many different community leaders, business leaders and citizens to listen and learn about Breckenridge’s history and what they believe some of the challenges and opportunities are here in Breckenridge. I am a strong proponent of a team approach and cooperative partnerships that allow us to work together and capitalize on the strengths and leverage resources to make the most of limited resources available.

The community has mirrored this perspective and as a result we have all been able to realize the benefits. For instance, one of the challenges, community-wide, has been the lack of consistent leadership. Over the past year, not only have I joined the City of Breckenridge, but the Chamber of Commerce has onboarded a new Executive Director and the Breckenridge Economic Development Corporation has onboarded a new Executive Director. We join other leaders at the County, ISD, Hospital and Appraisal District in a spirit of cooperation and planning for our future in our respective areas.

There is an uptick in economic development and our Downtown Development Committee, who serves under the BEDC, has been instrumental for improvements in our downtown area, façade improvements enabled by a façade grant program, as well as the initiation and recent election that passed allowing the selling of mixed beverages and packaged mixed beverages.

The City and County already had several interlocal agreements and the Mayor and Commissioners have continued partnering to do road improvements, where appropriate and to leverage resources to demolish dangerous and substandard buildings as well as a continued partnership with Police and Fire.

The City initiated a process to develop a Strategic Plan to complement the Planning Grant currently underway to update our Comprehensive Development Plan, where the last update was in 1967, and finished up in May 2023. This Strategic Plan will guide our budgeting process and city operations going forward.

Local leaders are focused on the City’s infrastructure, investing in our employees, beautification efforts, the promotion of economic development and increasing communication and transparency. In fact, we have recently re-vamped our city website and last Fall began livestreaming and recording our City Commission meetings, creating a YouTube Channel for the convenience of the citizens.

THE MURAL CAPITAL OF TEXAS

5 6 7 8

Breckenridge, Texas

Known as the “Mural Capital of Texas,” Breckenridge is home to almost a dozen murals across town. With murals dedicated to the city’s history, culture and tradition, it may seem like there is a mural for any occasion in Breckenridge.

From late night football games, to life before the city

was incorporated in the 1920s, to murals that pay homage to what Breckenridge once was, the murals help act as a glimpse into history.

From Boomtown Breckenridge, to the Dynamo of the West, Breckenridge’s history is on full display on the faces of these murals.

- 10 - 23-24 Breckenridge Community Guide

While it’s hard to track down the artist for each and every one of the 11 murals, artist Billy Ines takes home the honor of having painted several of them.

Ines was inspired from several photos taken in black and white throughout Breckenridge’s history.

These photos came from local legend Basil Clemons, who not only

helped pioneer colored photographs, but took thousands of photos of the buildings, events and people during his time.

After Breckenridge had acquired several of them over the years, those close with the city applied to the state to be anointed as the “Mural Capital of Texas.” This was made official January 2001.

Though, the city’s development in this regard isn’t all complete. A few of the murals have only been around for a decade or so and one is currently being restored.

The murals are scattered around downtown, with some even in earshot of each other.

See if you can find them using the map provided.

The Swenson Memorial Museum brings history to life.

116 W WALKER STREET BRECKENRIDGE, TX 76424

254-559-8471

Breckenridge, banks and buckaroos all take center-stage at the Swenson Memorial Museum, whose goal above all else is to preserve and chronicle the history of Stephens County and the area it calls home. Being located in the heart of Walker Street, Swenson is equipped to do just this.

The museum and its history

While the goal of the museum is to maintain history, it has been a part of history itself. The museum is housed in the old First National Bank building on Walker Street in Breckenridge. First National Bank moved across the street, to the old Burch Hotel, in the mid-70s. In response to the new vacancy, a group from town wanted to preserve the history of the area. As a result, the museum was opened on the U.S.’s

bicentennial, July 4, 1976. The center gets by with three employees and a series of volunteers.

Peter Swenson, who the museum is named after, left some oil income to the center, which helped support the museum for years. While there is still some money that comes in from that stream, it’s not as much as it used to be, as the oil boom has since left Breckenridge. Now the museum mostly receives its money from local donations, grants, the United Fund and as of late, the city and county, which are in their fi rst year of funding. Swenson Board President Lyn Clark estimated the museum’s yearly expenses sit at about $25,000 annually.

Due to its location in the old bank, the museum has been able to imbed itself into the history of the area. In the center of the lobby sits what used to be old bank teller windows. If you catch the light just right, you can see the imprints of where people used to stand all those years ago.

Breckenridge itself is named after John C. Breckinridge, who served as vice president under the 15th President of the U.S. James Buchanan. Once the confederate states seceded, he became the Secretary of War for the confederate. He was, and still is, the youngest vice president ever to serve office.

“The name is misspelled,” Clark said. “Somewhere there was a problem with the spelling.”

Before it became Breckenridge though, it started out as Picketville in 1854. The museum has a section dedicated to chronicling the town’s early days and has diaries from a couple of the residents that gives insight into the lives of the community. Picketville was located at the base of Donkey Mountain, which sits north of Breckenridge on the east side of U.S. Highway 183.

In its heyday, Breckenridge used to be an oil center, housing up to 30,000 people at one point in time. But after the oil left, the people went with it, onto the next oil boom.

- 13 - 23-24 Breckenridge Community Guide

The exhibits

The museum consists of two stories of accessible exhibits. In what used to be the bank teller windows now stands scaled replicas of the Native Americans and how Stephens County used to be. The Native American heritage is something Swenson has paid tribute to in several of their exhibits. Other displays include military memorabilia, which shows uniforms, photos and trinkets used by Stephens County veterans in each of the main wars dating back through the 20th century.

“(The museum) is dedicated to Stephens County,” Clark said. “Everything in here has a connection to the county.”

On the top floor, you’ll find several rooms that resemble old offices of past residents of Stephens County, such as lawyers and doctors. There’s also a room with old toys from past lives, and glasswork from the Great Depression.

Sports has also been given attention, as several displays on both floors have old Buckaroo uniforms and letterman jackets. Banners, pennants, photos and trophies line these exhibits, including a display for the late Jerry Tubbs, who passed away in 2012, but in his lifetime cemented himself as a local legend.

Tubbs played and won championships with the Breckenridge Buckaroos, then won national titles

with the University of Oklahoma, winning all 31 games he played in during his time from 1954 to 1956. He then went on to become the first round pick for the Chicago Cardinals in 1957 and ended up spending the bulk of his career with the Dallas Cowboys, who started as an expansion team in 1960. He was with them until 1967 and coached the team’s linebackers for 21 years, winning two Super Bowls and competing in five.

Other knick-knacks and items in the museum that show it’s history and age include several old bank vaults that have been repurposed into archives of historical documents for anyone wanting to come in and research.

The story of Stephens County and Breckenridge cannot be told without Basil Clemons, who was a photographer born in Alabama, but made his living in Breckenridge. It’s estimated that around 20,000 photos from Clemons are housed at the University of Texas at Arlington. Clark said Clemons lived and developed his photos out of a vardo, commonly called a gypsy wagon. He is credited with being one of the first to discover how to make colorized photos. In 1936, Clemons received an offer from Eastman Kodak Company for his secret, but promptly turned it down.

“He would not sell it to Kodak, he refused,” Clark said. “He said, ‘I

discovered it, you can discover it.’”

He kept his money in his boot and took photos that captured the history of Breckenridge Boomtown. The museum has several photos of him and his work, including some of him just laying out in his wagon. Some of this work includes his experimentation with color and panoramas of the town. There is also a photo of the landscape of Stephens County showing all the oil rigs during the boom. Pat Dudley Green, who works at the museum, said there were around 1,400 oil rigs at the time.

The museum has also given attention to the old businesses that used to occupy Breckenridge, including some that still do. R.E. Dye Manufacturing, which was established around 1919, is still standing today. Other businesses that tell the story of the past include multiple old dairies, a jeweler, First National Bank and the Breckenridge American, which was established in 1920. There was also an architect named David Castle, who was based out of Abilene, Texas.

He was responsible for the design of several buildings in Breckenridge and Stephens County, including the Burch Hotel, First Baptist Church, City Hall and a section of Dye Manufacturing, which before being incorporated into Dye’s, served numerous purposes.

The future of maintaining the past

Clark said the hardest part of maintaining the museum is the upkeep, especially in terms of finances.

“This is a 100-year-old building,” Clark said. “The upkeep is tremendous on it.... It’s constant maintenance.”

This has been made even more difficult with recent events. A few years back, the museum was broken into and vandalized. However, the vandals came from the upper floor through a fire escape and found themselves unable to go downstairs, meaning their damage was contained to the second floor.

“Our bid to clean was $25,000,” Clark said. “Supposedly they would pay $14,000 and we only got $100.”

One plan for the future is right next door, attached to Swenson, which is an oil museum that is currently closed. Clark said there is some work left to be done in it, namely cleaning. She said once it is cleaned, it’ll be open to the public again.

The museum also owns a garage near the building. Green said the hope for the future is to eventually renovate and turn it into an exhibit for old farm equipment. But their first priority still remains the oil museum. To set up the farm exhibit would require them to

fix the leaking roof, which Green estimated would cost around $30,000.

Despite the hangups, Clark and Green are happy with the museum’s success and estimate they see anywhere from 150 to 200 people per month. Clark added not a week goes by where they don’t have someone bring in items they want to donate.

“They bring (items) to us because they know we’re going to take care of them,” Clark said.

Swenson is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. You can find the museum, right off Walker Street, in the old First National Bank building.

The National Theatre has been a beacon of Breckenridge since its early days. Located on Walker Street, the theatre has had a history of trial, celebration, expansion and restoration.

More than a century on stage

The National Theatre was built in 1921. Shortly after completion, it burned down and was rebuilt the next year. Over the decades, it has changed its name and gone through multiple owners.

In the latter part of the 20th century, the theatre ended up vacant. Th is lasted long enough for the roof to fall in, which prompted a large cleanup.

It was during this time that the Friends of Historic Breckenridge, a non-profit organization formed to develop an interest in our community’s history and to encourage the restoration of existing buildings to their original architectural facades, became involved. The group produced a play titled “Planes, Trains, and Crude

Oil.” The play was performed for attendees with no roof overhead. Th is was done with a small stage and assembled dressing rooms using curtains.

“It was a fabulous play, and it was done several times,” Becky Payne, former FOHB president, said.

Walking inside the doors of the theatre, you fi rst enter a lobby area that has doors on both the left and the right of the box office. On the wall, directly ahead, sits a plaque with a list of names and several stars on both sides of it with more. These stars and plaques pay homage to the benefactors of the facility.

Th rough the doors up ahead awaits the theatre itself. More than 200 seats face the stage, while

- 18 - 23-24 Breckenridge Community Guide

dimmed lights run down the wall. The stage at the other end sits open and ready to put on a show for someone who may wander through the doors.

To the right of the lobby is a room with a kitchen and area for people to mingle for a type of gettogether. The theatre regularly hosts events and offers rentals for parties. To the left of the lobby sits Mike’s Bar. Photos and art line the wall and show a peek into the past of what was. Today, there sits a television behind the bar, as well as the popcorn machine and velvet rope for people to line up and grab their snacks before the show.

Hidden in the back are dressing rooms, storage closets, and supply rooms. There is also a grand piano carefully covered in the back that was used for performances in the past.

When FOHB took over in the 1990s, neither of the wings to the left and right were part of the theater. But Payne said when they took over the facility, they had an immediate need to build bathrooms, which made it a priority to secure one of the wings.

When they began restoring the building, they started with the roof. Then other things, such as the stage, curtains, facade, came next. In 2015 new plush chairs were added to the theatre. And in 2018, a fundraiser was held to upgrade the theatre’s projector new cinema-quality one.

After surviving the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and after over a year of being shut down, the theatre happily resumed shows in July 2021. Under the leadership of FOHB’s new board president, Bo Asher, the board raised funds to upgrade the theatre’s lighting system.

In May 2021, the new state-of-art lighting installation project was completed, and in 2022, FOHB installed a new surround sound setup. The theater was dealt another blow in May 2022, after a severe thunderstorm brought large hail which caused extensive damage. The theater is back in rebuilding mode, and hopes to resume shows soon.

a BIG world inside a small town

Breckenridge Fine Arts Center brings culture to the city like no one else can.

Celebrating art since 1985, the Breckenridge Fine Arts Center is home to three permanent collections and features temporary exhibits throughout the year. The center commits itself to furthering the arts and artistic environment through education and maintaining the “finest in workshop facilities and instruction” as well as providing high-quality exhibits for the general public.

Shalon Taylor Wilson is the center’s director. Wilson received a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Abilene Christian University where she was an All-Conference middle blocker in the Lone Star Conference for the Wildcats. She was a special education teacher at Stamford and Breckenridge ISDs.

“Our goal up here, always while I’m here, is going to be number one, to bring art to Breckenridge (and) to integrate children into the fine arts center so they will love it for the rest of their lives,” Wilson said. “Because someday (we will all) be dead and these kids will keep this place going. It’s very important that a town as small and rural like Breckenridge have an arts center for kids and adults and everybody.”

Wilson’s career in art began as a stay-athome mom in 2006. During that time she taught herself to oil paint. Since then, she has been represented by Beaudry Gallery in Dallas and has had paintings on display in Peru, France, Germany, Australia and throughout the United States.

Her passion for working with children has carried over to her work at the center. Each summer the center hosts the Children’s Summer Workshop Series offering instruction covering many different aspects of art.

“I’ve always been a little bit artistic,” Wilson said. “When my youngest was born, I just became a stay-at-home mom. A friend asked me to paint something for her baby’s nursery and so I just kind of just started playing with it at home. I just kept watching YouTube videos and whatever, just trying to figure it out. Then I got picked up by Beaudry Gallery in Dallas and really got more into art then.”

Collections

Perhaps BFAC’s most popular exhibit is the Kathryn Leach Doll Collection. The collection of nearly

750 dolls was awarded by Kathryn and Julian Leach, of Fort Worth, in 1992. Leach accompanied her parents to Europe when she was 16 years old and purchased some dolls on the trip. These dolls further deepened her interest in dolls and began the start of a lifetime of collecting. Each doll is considered a collector’s item with some dating back to the mid-1800s. Leach was awarded the United Federation Doll Club’s Award of Excellence for the protection and preservation of dolls in June of 1994.

“It’s over $1 million worth of dolls …and I have not been able to think of a country that’s represented,” Wilson said. “We’ve had to have books published that represent the nearly 400 dolls that we have in there.”

With dolls made up of anything from mummified apples to walnuts

or corn husks, Wilson said the doll collection alone draws in crowds from all over the country to the BFAC.

“I have people fly in from all over the country for no reason to come to Breckenridge except go into that doll room,” Wilson said. “They always say the same thing. ‘You have dolls that we have only read about before and we wanted to see them in person.’”

All The Glitters: Festival Dresses of Texas is one of the three collections on permanent display at the center. On display are lavishly decorated gowns and trains that represent some of the grandest festivals in Texas: Buccaneer Days in Corpus Christi, Fiesta in San Antonio, and the Texas Rose Festival in Tyler. The exhibit houses 29 dresses that represent the pageantry of the coronation for which they were

worn. Dresses are represented in varying years from 1951 through 2021.

The bronze sculpture collection is the third permanent collection available for viewing at the center. Over 30 distinctly unique bronze sculptures, many of which were donated by the estate of the late Lester and Virginia Clark. Though there are a few on display throughout the center itself, the majority are housed in a private gallery that is filled with natural sunlight.

“It’s bronze pieces from all over the world,” Wilson said. “Most of which has been donated by Lester and Virginia Clark and they’re the ones that started the Breckenridge Fine Arts Center which is the center and the library.”

The Breckenridge Fine Arts Center offers these exhibits to its guests free of charge and encourages new visitors to come to enjoy each.

Summer Art Camp

A popular summer attraction for the kids at the BFAC is the summer art camp. The camp, which often has to use a waiting list, draws children in from all over to practice art with local teachers.

“The main thing that we do that we always end up with huge waiting lists and fills up within hours of me

posting it is our summer art camp,” Wilson said. “It’s a three-day art camp with one of our local art teachers. The kids get to do an hour to an hour and a half, depending on their age group for three days in a row.”

The theme for the 2023 camp was God Bless America and attendees created patriotic displays such as the Statue of Liberty and fireworks.

Since becoming director Wilson said she has been amazed at the amount of out of town visitors the center attracts and said the center is an important piece to the city of Breckenridge.

“I had no idea how many people were going out of their way to come in these doors. It’s just so neat because no matter who comes in, say it’s a group of ladies from Mineral Wells, they’re having a girl’s day out. They come to see the art because it’s such a fun and novel thing to do in a small town. Of course while they’re here I send them to eat at such and such restaurant and they shop at such and such boutique and shop,” she said. “So ... I did not become aware of this until I became the director and was involved with decisions, I had no idea how much money people spend in Breckenridge solely because they came to see this art. I’m really proud of that and I’m proud of the Clark family for putting this place here.”
