✨🔥 We had a SPARK of something special in Snyder last week! 🔥✨

We were honored to host a special visit from the Texas Historical Commission and the Texas Plains Trail Region, who led an incredible workshop on Visitor Experiences right here in Snyder.

We were thrilled to welcome around 40 attendees from across our region to Martha Ann’s, including representatives from amazing partner organizations like:
⭐ The National WASP WWII Museum in Sweetwater
⭐ The Bush Family Home Museum in Midland
⭐ Frontier Texas! in Abilene
…and several more!

These groups are all part of our regional partnerships as we prepare for the Smithsonian Museum on Main Street: Spark! Places of Innovation exhibit coming to Snyder for six weeks beginning October 2nd! 🎉

We are beyond excited for this opportunity to showcase innovation, history, and community—and to bring a full lineup of fun events to Snyder!

How cool!!

A carhop delivers a meal to a hungry patron at Frady Brothers restaurant in Snyder, Texas 1949. Snyder was an oil boomtown at the time. I wonder if they had tater tots.

Invention can happen anywhere and it’s happening right now in small towns across America. Rural Americans are creating new products, taking risks, meeting challenges together, and seizing upon exciting opportunities that change local life and sometimes reach far beyond.
"Spark! Places of Innovation," an exhibition from the Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street, highlights innovation in rural America from the perspective of the people who lived it! Their words, images, and experiences gathered through an ambitious crowdsourcing initiative are the heartbeat of this exhibition. Technological, social, cultural, artistic, or a combination of all of these—every innovation is as unique as each community.

You can see the exhibition starting October 3, 2026 at Ritz Community Theatre in Snyder, TX.
