The Salado Historical Society warmly invites the public to its annual membership drive and potluck gathering on Monday, November 2, 2026, featuring special guest speaker Bob O’Dell, writer and producer of the upcoming documentary Tonkawa: They All Stay Together. O’Dell will present “The Tonkawa Tribe: What I Wish I Knew a Lot Earlier,” sharing fascinating discoveries and little-known stories about the Tonkawa people and their deep connections to Central Texas. Through years of research, personal relationships, and filmmaking, O’Dell has uncovered historical accounts and developed a unique understanding of the Tonkawa Tribe. His presentation offers an opportunity to learn about a part of Texas history that deserves to be remembered and shared.
