Braly's Ace Hardware of Jacksonville wins business award
JACKSONVILLE, Texas (KETK) — Braly's Ace Hardware of Jacksonville was honored with the Texas Treasures Business Award on Friday for 90 years of service to the community and Texas economy. UPDATE: Winona ISD school board candidates address voters ahead of second election Braly's Ace Hardware of Jacksonville has a family owned history that spans five generations of dedication to customer satisfaction. The store provides customers with hardware tools, gardening supplies and home improvement products. While the business currently resides in Jacksonville, its roots are over in Palestine, where it was the first winner of the TTBA in 2015. The Texas Historical Commission started handing out TTBAs to businesses in 2005 and has since awarded many business with a Texas Treasure decal that is displayed at the front of the establishment. The emblem is a sign of Texas owned pride and devotion to customers that walk in. The THC recognizes businesses that have consistently generated tax revenue and stimulated the economy. Rep. Moran discusses tax cuts at Americans for Prosperity town hall 'I am a proud supporter of this recently opened store in Jacksonville and am happy to share this designation with them,' Mayor Pro Tem Tim McRae said.

May 27—The Texas Historical Commission's Heritage Tourism Program has announced that the Museum of the Big Bend at Sul Ross State University has been selected to host the Smithsonian Institution's Museum on Main Street traveling exhibit in Summer 2026. Selections are made through a rigorous application process. MOBB partnered with the City of Alpine and Texas Mountain Trail to outline project goals, developments, recent exhibits and innovations, historical connections and how the exhibit will be promoted in the region, a news release said. The museum is one of just six places selected for the 2026-2027 season, including Experience Atlanta, Texas, the Kerr Arts and Cultural Center in Kerrville, Main Street Taylor, Snyder Chamber of Commerce and Kinney County Post in Brackettville. The chosen communities will embark on nearly two years of training and preparation for the arrival of the world's largest museum complex in their small towns. The exhibit, titled "Spark! Places of Innovation," explores the unique combination of people, places and circumstances that sparks innovation and invention in rural communities. According to the Smithsonian's website, it is "inspired by an exhibition by the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation and features stories gathered from diverse communities across the nation. Photographs, engaging interactives, objects, videos and digital stories bring a multilayered experience to reveal the leaders, challenges, successes and future of innovation in each town." "Our team at the museum, along with our partners at the City of Alpine and Texas Mountain Trail, is committed to bringing this experience to life in a way that reflects the depth, diversity and vibrancy of our heritage in Far West Texas," Vice President for Advancement and Development John Klingemann said in the release.
