H.R. No. 2339

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Residents of Marshall are gathering in Austin on
	April 29, 2015, to celebrate City of Marshall Day at the State
	Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Located near the Texas-Louisiana border in the
	beautiful rolling hills of East Texas, the city was named in honor
	of John Marshall, chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1801
	to 1835, and it has served as the seat of Harrison County since
	1842; and
	WHEREAS, Marshall had become one of the largest and
	wealthiest towns in the region by 1860, and its success was due in
	large part to the railway system that supported the town's
	commercial and industrial development and sizable agricultural
	industry; and
	WHEREAS, Today, it is home to four institutions of higher
	learning: East Texas Baptist University, Texas State Technical
	College, Wiley College, and Marshall College Center of Panola
	College; it is an important retail and manufacturing center, with
	oil and gas production also contributing to its economy;
	additionally, residents have built a flourishing ceramics trade,
	and it has become widely known as the Pottery Capital of East Texas;
	and
	WHEREAS, Citizens of Marshall demonstrate a deep commitment
	to preserving their heritage, and the Ginocchio National Historic
	District features one of the state's finest examples of Victorian
	hotel architecture, the 1896 Ginocchio Hotel; the city is also the
	site of the Texas and Pacific Railroad Depot Museum, the Allen
	House, the Weisman Center, and the Harrison County Historical
	Museum; and
	WHEREAS, Declared by the city commission as the Birthplace of
	Boogie Woogie, Marshall celebrates this unique distinction with a
	variety of music events throughout the year; the Marshall Regional
	Arts Council sponsors performances, and the Michelson Museum of
	Art, the Marshall Symphony, and the Marshall Visual Art Center all
	contribute to the cultural vibrancy of this remarkable East Texas
	community; and
	WHEREAS, Celebrating their rich and colorful history as they
	work to build a bright future, the citizens of Marshall may take
	justifiable pride in the important role their town continues to
	play in the story of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize April 29, 2015, as City of Marshall
	Day at the State Capitol and extend to all those who are visiting
	sincere best wishes for an enjoyable and informative trip to
	Austin.
