Join me on Friday, August 2, at 11:00 a.m. at the Deer Park Public Library, 3009 Center Street, Deer Park, Texas, to hear the tale of Rev. Charles Palmer Dorset and the Texas Military Institute (TMI). TMI was established in 1897 in Llano, Texas, and opened as TMI-La Porte in the former 1894 Crescent Hotel on San Jacinto Bay following the 1900 Galveston Storm. Come hear the story of the man behind the school and its part in Texas history.
