About the event
Join us on Saturday, March 29, 2025, from 11 AM to 3 PM for a one-of-a-kind (and free!) celebration honoring Lake Jackson’s very first homes—the historic duplexes! Built in 1943 for Dow employees, these homes were the foundation of a thriving community, where early residents braved mosquitoes, mud, and long treks for supplies—but always found joy in their pioneering spirit.
Experience the Legacy:
Enjoy vintage images & classic tunes
Record & share your own duplex story
Fun kids’ activities for all ages
Don’t miss the Panel Chat with former duplex residents at 1 PM
Delicious food & drinks available
Special Feature: Be among the first to get a copy of Against All Odds: The Lake Jackson Duplexes, a newly released book capturing the incredible history of these homes and the people who made them special.
Let’s come together to honor the past, share memories, and celebrate the enduring spirit of Lake Jackson’s first pioneers. See you there!
