TxDOT TxDOT went “Beyond the Road” at a Denton Juneteenth Celebration to help tell the story of a formerly enslaved blacksmith in the 1800s.
Denton County’s Bolivar Archaeological Project was on full display for the public during a Juneteenth Celebration on June 17, revealing artifacts TxDOT uncovered as crews planned to expand FM 455. Crews found the site during the environmental phase of construction.
That excavation, which wrapped up in early 2021, unearthed the legacy of a freedman named Tom Cook.
