Who Runs the World? Girls!

March is when the nation celebrates Women's History Month. It’s a time to commemorate and recognize the vital role of women in history.

We want to especially thank all the lovely ladies who serve the City of Cleburne in our various departments for the difference they make every day. Keep up the great work!

Happy Texas Independence Day, Y'all!

Did you know that Texas was its own country for almost 10 years? On March 2, 1836, Texas formally declared its independence from Mexico. Then in 1845, Texas joined the Union as the 28th state.

The Chisholm Trail Museum, located right here in Cleburne, allows visitors to step back in time and learn about the rich and extensive history of Texas (with emphasis on Johnson County). Get details about the attractions here.

PET OF THE WEEK

Archie is ready for his close-up… and his new forever home. He's a 2-year-old retriever/lab mix who has plenty of energy and love to give.

Archie has been at the Cleburne Animal Shelter since the end of January. He's already neutered and ready to go. Learn how you can adopt him here.
