These Historical Sites in Texas Are Considered Endangered in 2026

Six historical sites have made the list for potentially going away this year and one of them is right here in Wichita County.

Preservation Texas has a simple goal. To preserve historical sites throughout our state. Sadly, some historical sites are set for demolition, removal, or relocation. Preservation Texas has actually helped save 30% of the sites on their Endangered List throughout the years. Here are the six sites in Texas for 2026.

Yesterday, Preservation Texas shared all of these sites that could potentially be going away in our state. Texas' Bicentennial is coming up in the next decade and this organization has five goals they would like to achieve over the next decade before that happens.

Preservation Texas' Goals Before Texas Bicentennial

• To educate the general public, and all persons, organizations, and agencies active in historic preservation, on public policy, legislative, legal, and economic development issues that impact historic preservation, and to advocate in the process for proposals benefitting historic preservation goals;

• To acquire, by purchase, gift, devise or bequest, with or without restriction, and to preserve, restore, maintain and present to the public those areas, sites, buildings, monuments, artifacts, artworks, books, documents, and objects which are significant in the history, prehistory, archaeology, architecture, heritage and culture of Texas;

• To disseminate information about the history, prehistory, heritage and culture of Texas, and historic preservation practice and trades;

• To engage in historical and archaeological research on the activities of past Texans; and

• To foster, encourage and develop a general appreciation and understanding of the lives and activities of past generations of Texans in order that the lives of present and future generations may be enriched.
