Harrison Eppright - History of Austin

Austin changes so rapidly that it feels like every time you blink, a piece of its history slips away. Fortunately, we have Harrison Eppright. He's been soaking up history for six decades – the time he's lived through, but earlier times as well – and he's always eager to share it. The Victory Grill, Downs Field and the Negro Leagues, the city's “1928 Master Plan,” Juneteenth in Austin, Evergreen Cemetery – he knows all about them and more. As Visit Austin's manager of visitor services and tour ambassador, and tour docent for Six Square: Austin's Black Cultural District, Eppright is well-positioned to ensure we remember the Austin that was.
