The Texas Heritage Trails Program was the brainchild of former governor of Texas John Connally. In 1968, in conjunction with the HemisFair, Connally, along with the Texas Highway Department now Texas Department of Transportation established 10 scenic driving trails in Texas. In 1997, the state legislature tasked the historical commission to create a statewide heritage tourism program. Their response was a program based on local, regional, and state partnerships centered around the 10 driving trails created by Connally.
