Nacogdoches History Talk: The Life of Father Margil, Presented by Father George Elliott
2026-01-20 18:30 - 20:00 | Zion Hill Baptist Church
The City of Nacogdoches Historic Sites will host a history talk examining the life and legacy of Antonio Margil de Jesús and his connection to early Nacogdoches. The talk will be presented by Father George Elliott, pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Parish in Nacogdoches. The program will take place on Tuesday, January 20, at 6:30 p.m. at Zion Hill Baptist Church, located at 324 North Lanana Street.

Father Margil was a Spanish Catholic missionary in Nacogdoches, and this program will explore his life and the impact of his work on the city’s early history. While many in Nacogdoches are familiar with the name Margil, this talk will offer a closer look at who he was, why he came to the area, and how his presence fits into the broader historical story of the community.

The year 2026 marks the 300th anniversary of Antonio Margil’s death in 1726, making this program a timely opportunity to reflect on his place in Nacogdoches history and the Spanish colonial period in East Texas.

One of the most recognizable locations associated with Margil, known as The Eyes of Father Margil, is located nearby along the Lanana Creek Trail, just a short distance from Zion Hill. The proximity of this site provides a meaningful geographic connection between the talk’s location and the early history being discussed.

This program is free and open to the public, and no registration is required. The talk will begin at 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit nactx.us/historicsites or call 936-560-4441.

Film Screening at Zion Hill: Raise Your Head Up, A Documentary and Photo Exhibit by Richard Orton
2026-02-20 19:00 - 21:00 | Zion Hill Baptist Church
Nacogdoches Historic Sites will host a special film screening of Raise Your Head Up, a documentary by Richard Orton, on Friday, February 20 at 7:00 p.m. at the Zion Hill Baptist Church Historic Site, located at 324 North Lanana Street. The screening will include an introduction by Orton, followed by a Q&A session with the filmmaker.Raise Your Head Up is the result of decades of research and relationship building. The documentary explores the history and legacy of freedom colonies in East Texas, communities established by formerly enslaved African Americans after Emancipation. The film began with Orton’s first visit in 1988 to the Freedom Colony of County Line in northwest Nacogdoches County, where he began documenting the Upshaw family and learning about the community’s history.“In the beginning, my only objective was to satisfy my curiosity, enjoy the family, and make photographs that represented who they are,” said Orton. “After many years, that work led to a book, a traveling photo exhibit, and eventually to meeting descendants from other freedom colonies. Learning their histories and forming those relationships ultimately led to the creation of this film.”In conjunction with the film screening, the photo exhibit, The Upshaws of County Line, will be on display in the Zion Hill gallery beginning February 11. The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular operating hours.The exhibit was originally developed by the Stephen F. Austin State University School of Art and builds upon Orton’s book, The Upshaws of County Line: An American Family, published in 2014.The film screening and exhibit are presented in partnership with Nacogdoches Historic Sites, the Nacogdoches Arts Collaborative, the African American Heritage Project, Friends of the SFA Friends of the Visual Arts, the Summerlee Foundation, and Alex and Suzanne Labry.

The film screening is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Registration is available through Eventbrite.com. Anyone needing assistance with registration may call 936 560 4441.For more information about the film and exhibit, visit nactx.us/historicsites, email historic sites at nactx.us, or call 936-560-4441.

Legendary Actor Dennis Quaid and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick to Speak on Panel in Nacogdoches on April 10
2026-04-10 07:30 - 10:00 | Downtown Nacogdoches, 202 E Pilar St, Rm 218, Nacogdoches, TX, 75961, United States
Actor Dennis Quaid and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick will be speaking at the Lone Star Legislative Summit presented by Citizens 1st Bank on Friday, April 10, at 7:30 a.m. in Nacogdoches. This marquee event will offer an unprecedented opportunity to peek behind the curtains of one of Texas’s most impactful industries, the film industry, and its economic impact on not only East Texas, but the entire state. Dennis Quaid said, “I’m looking forward to joining Lt. Governor Patrick for this important discussion on Texas’s future and the effort to make the Lone Star State the country’s film capital. From here in East Texas to the Rio Grande Valley, Panhandle, and everywhere in between, Texas has unlimited potential and countless opportunities for growth. I look forward to discussing those opportunities at the Lone Star Legislative Summit.”

“One of my top priorities is ensuring Texas remains the best state in the union by creating jobs and driving economic growth. Texas is becoming a film industry leader. Fort Worth is now a major production hub, and in Midlothian, ‘The Chosen’ turned Texas into Ancient Israel, creating 1,000 jobs in the process.”— Lt. Governor Dan Patrick

On April 10th at Lone Star Legislative Summit, I’ll be interviewing legendary Texas actor Dennis Quaid on his career and the Texas film industry.” The morning panel between Dennis Quaid and Lt. Governor Patrick is open to members of the media. Along with the breakfast event sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, panel discussions and a luncheon with U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions and U.S. Congressman Nathaniel Moran are in the lineup of activities during the rest of the summit. Panel discussions are: • Media Madness. Lone Star Lens: Texas Politics Unfiltered. • Rooted in Education. Rising in Workforce. • The Next Drop: Planning for Texas’ Water Future. The Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce has held the biennial two-day summit starting in 2006 with the purpose of connecting lawmakers with community leaders so that real issues affecting East Texas can be discussed in an open, non-partisan forum. The goal is simple, set the stage for state and federal representation to have access as much information as possible to support the making of good law.
