Texas: Lone Star State Collection

Explore the vast beauty and rich heritage of Texas through this hand-drawn story map and accompanying gifts by Chris Robitaille. As the second-largest state, Texas became the 28th state in 1848, with a history rooted in its time as an independent republic. The name "Texas" is derived from the Caddo word "Tejas," meaning "friends."

From the coastal swamps and piney woods to the rolling plains and rugged Big Bend mountains, Texas is a land of diverse and breathtaking landscapes. Highlights include the historic Alamo, San Antonio’s Riverwalk, Austin’s lively music scene, Fort Worth’s Stockyards, Houston’s Space Center, and the scenic Gulf Coast.

Perfect for keepsakes or gifts, every purchase not only celebrates the Lone Star State but also supports conservation efforts and the preservation of our public lands.
