Military Memorial Gallery

Texas Capitol Medal of Honor Exhibit

The exhibit explicitly honors Texans who received the federal Medal of Honor as well as recipients of the separate Texas Legislative Medal of Honor. The archive publishes one controlled exhibit-level relationship because the official page defines the experience and its scope but does not provide a stable recipient-by-recipient roster suitable for reciprocal archive links.

Historical context

About this institution

The Texas State Preservation Board developed Above and Beyond: The Medal of Honor in Texas as a permanent interpretive experience inside the working Texas Capitol. Located in the Ground Floor North Wing, the exhibit connects recipient stories, state commemoration, and a companion digital resource within one of the state’s most visited public buildings.

Why it matters to Medal of Honor research

This Capitol gallery provides an authoritative state-government example of Medal of Honor interpretation that deliberately includes both the federal award and a distinct state valor award. The profile preserves that distinction while documenting where the public experience is located and how it can be visited.

Above and Beyond: The Medal of Honor in Texas

The Texas State Preservation Board identifies Above and Beyond as the Capitol’s permanent Medal of Honor exhibit honoring Texans who received the federal Medal of Honor and the distinct Texas Legislative Medal of Honor. The archive keeps those award systems separate and does not infer medal custody.
