Mayor Stephen Santellana read a proclamation Tuesday morning naming Robert Seabury Day, as requested by the Museum of North Texas History.

Seabury was chosen as the MNTH’s Legend of North Texas. Museum director Charles Campbell said Seabury was picked because of his decades of work with historic preservation and nonprofit organizations in the Wichita Falls area.

Seabury, Campbell said, has an indelible impact on the area economically, physically with all the property he's built and developed, and his many efforts to preserve and restore historical artifacts.

“Some people think over the passage of time your light burns out. I think your light has just gotten brighter. You are an example of a great citizen and I want to thank you for that,” Santellana said to Seabury.
