Lanterns & Legends Event

The theme for this year’s Lanterns & Legends event is Faces Behind the Facades and will feature historical Navasota residents whose names appear on the building facades in historic downtown Navasota. Lanterns & Legends is written by local residents, Mavis and Gary Anderson and Mark Taylor, and directed by Joyce Yorek. The event features live actors who bring to life historic residents from Navasota’s past.
Featured residents this year will include J.T. Lott, Dr. Alfred Ketchum, Maurine Chinski, Mattie Bookman Craig, and other last names from yesteryear that are still visible downtown, revealing the faces and stories behind those names on the building facades.
