Doctor Shaun Treat is a local historian and hillbilly raconteur. Back in the day, Shaun contributed to a series of local history articles on the blog We Denton Do It entitled Back in the Day. Some of our most popular series were those uncovering the histories of the confederate statue and Quakertown. Recently Shaun has been deeply involved in the Denton Community Remembrance Project, which collected soil at three locations to represent the many lynchings in Denton County. The layers of the earth will be contained in three jars, one for permanent display at the Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama, and the others locally.
