On March 9th, the prestigious NSDAR Historic Preservation Medal was presented to J. P. Bryan at a black-tie banquet hosted by the Texas Daughters of the American Revolution at their annual conference in San Antonio.

The Historic Preservation Medal recognizes and honors a person who has done extraordinary work at the regional, state, and/or national level preserving and promoting history over a long period of time. This work includes establishing a historic district, preserving a local landmark, restoring or preserving objects of historic cultural significance, establishing or participating in oral history projects, and youth leadership and education as they pertain to historic preservation. J.P. Bryan fits this profile in every category and it is fitting that his lifelong dedication and passion for promoting and preserving the history of Texas and the American West is being recognized through this significant award.
