The U.S. last beat screwworm in 1966. Can current leaders learn from the past’s playbook?

Summary by The Woodlands Editorial Desk · Based on reporting from Houston Public Media · June 25, 2026 · 1 min read

Why this matters in The Woodlands

For residents of The Woodlands, the fate of these small on-base Army museums may seem distant, but it has implications for the preservation of military history in the greater Houston area. As a community with a strong sense of patriotism and a growing population, The Woodlands has a stake in ensuring that the stories and artifacts of the US Army are accessible to the public. The uncertainty surrounding these museums raises questions about the potential for partnerships with local institutions, such as the Montgomery County Historical Commission, to help preserve and showcase these important collections. Additionally, the proximity of The Woodlands to Houston, a city with a significant military presence, makes it an ideal location for collaborative efforts to promote the appreciation and understanding of military history. The Woodlands Township and local historical organizations may need to explore ways to support the preservation of these museums and their collections.
