Photographer Susan Gaetz Duarte spent more than a year documenting the Beachy Amish Mennonite community of Lott, Texas, for her master’s thesis at The University of Texas at Austin. Though there have been other Mennonite settlements in Texas in the twentieth century, the Lott community has proven themselves with their longstanding, unceasing presence as well as their continued growth. They have endured because of their tenacity, community strength, and ability to adapt. This exhibition is by the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin, presented in partnership with Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
