The Texas Historical Commission is undertaking a two-year study to document the history of the Meridian Highway, which ran through Main street of Bryan.
Chairman of the Brazos County Historial Commission, Henry Mayo, says individuals and organizations are encouraged to attend a public outreach meeting to share information and items related to the highway for use in the project.
Mayo says THC has awarded Hardy-Heck-Moore the contract to complete the study. The Austin-based historic preservation firm has done work for Bryan in the past.
The meeting is Wednesday at the Clara Mounce Public Library in Bryan at 5:30 p.m.
