In September 2021, the City of Grapevine dedicated the Peace Circle, a work of public art on its Main Street, commemorating a meeting in August 1843 that included Republic of Texas President Sam Houston and the leaders of ten American Indian nations. Sallie Andrews will share the history of the gathering and the history of the public art project that touches millions of visitors in Grapevine each year.
