Rehab on the Range: A History of Addiction and Incarceration in Fort Worth
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Thursday, February 20, Tarrant County Historical Society meeting will not be in person, but via Zoom only.
This presentation will be free. If you’ve already paid for a ticket, you may either receive a refund or turn your payment into a donation to TCHS. Someone will contact you about your preferences.
Bring your drink or snacks of choice, get comfortable, click on the link that will be sent to all members and registered guests, and enjoy as Holly Karibo shares one of Fort Worth’s most fascinating untold stories. We’ll start the program at 7 p.m.
Historian Holly M. Karibo will discuss the history of the Fort Worth Narcotic Farm, which was the only federally funded drug treatment center in operation in the US West between the 1930s and 1970s. Based on her recently published book, Karibo will discuss the roots of the institution, its successes and challenges, and its legacies at a time when we continue to debate how the nation should approach the issues of drug use and addiction. Copies of Karibo’s book will be available for purchase and signing.
