Collin McKinney: Texas Patriot and Statesman

The Collin McKinney and Early Texas Exhibit marked the 250th birthday of Texas Patriot, Collin McKinney. The Collin County History Museum  honored his contributions through a year long exhibit, Collin McKinney and Early Texas. Visitors learned of Collin McKinney’s life and role as a settler, surveyor, church founder, and member of the committee that drafted the Texas Declaration of Independence. The exhibit included a scale model and historic photos of Collin McKinney’s home.  Our city and county were named in his honor.
