Harold B. Jennings Collection

Summary: The Jennings family is one of the key families that helped to transition Fort Worth from a sleepy town to a bustling and culturally favored city with railroad service, parks, and libraries following the decline associated with the Civil War era.

Harold B. (Hal) Jennings visited the Archives on several occasions, and accompanied by Gretchen Denny and Samuel Alexander Denny Jr. An associated collection initiated simultaneously is the Samuel Alexander Denny Jr. / Jennings Family Collection.
