County Part of Texas Pecos Trails Region
Glasscock is one of 22 counties in the recently designated Texas Pecos Trails Region. The new heritage trail region is the ninth area to participate in the Texas Historical Commission’s award-winning regional tourism initiative, the Texas Heritage Trails Program. The region’s organizational meeting will be Sept. 22 at the Monahans Convention Center.
Acceptance into the program begins the state-assisted development and promotion of the area as a heritage tourism destination. The THTP helps Texas communities promote tourism, revitalize local economies and foster community leadership through historic preservation. THC works with heritage regions for a minimum of three years, giving technical, marketing and financial help.
In addition to Glasscock, the Texas Pecos Trail Region includes the following counties: Andrews, Crane, Crockett, Ector, Edwards, Kimble, Kinney, Loving, Martin, Maverick, Midland, Pecos, Reagan, Reeves, Sterling, Sutton, Terrell, Upton, Val Verde, Ward and Winkler.
