Pioneer Hall is sited immediately north of the Witte Museum. It is designated a Texas State Archaeological Landmark! This is because it was one of two projects in the park constructed with federal funds allocated to celebrate the Texas centennial; the second was Sunken Garden Theater (see No. 36). The Mediterranean‐influenced limestone building with red tile roof was designed by the architectural firms of Phelps & Dewees and Ayres & Ayres. It was constructed as a memorial to the state’s pioneers, trail drivers, and rangers.
