In a meeting held on Thursday, March 27, 2025, the Navarro County Historical Society voted in board member Stephen R. Farris to act as interim president of the Society, while they continue their search for someone permanent.
Farris has been a member of the NCHS since 2008, serving as vice-president and one and a half terms as president in the past. He also serves as the secretary for the Navarro County Historical Commission, where he has been a member since 2010. Farris is a distant cousin of the late Alva Taylor.
Taylor, and his friend Joe Daniel of Kerens, met in the coffee shop of the old Navarro Hotel back in 1956, and made plans to form a historical society and a museum. Their vision became a reality, and in 1958, the first historical structure was moved from within the county to the site of present-day Pioneer Village.
Pioneer Village is located on the southwest corner of North 19th and West Park Avenue, and is open Wednesday–Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
